14 - 1 ball pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
15 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine oxtail segments, 2 tablespoons truffle oil, browning sauce, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, jerk seasoning, ginger paste, thyme, chopped scallions, onion, Korean pear, garlic paste, and beef stock in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Cover and braise at 325°F for 3 to 3.5 hours, until oxtail is fork-tender and meat easily separates from the bone. Remove oxtail from the pot and reserve the braising liquid. Allow meat to cool until handleable, then hand-shred the oxtail, discarding bones and excess fat. Set shredded meat aside.
02 - Blend or strain the reserved braising liquids and vegetables until a smooth and thick sauce forms. Adjust seasoning to taste. This sauce will be spread directly on the pizza base.
03 - On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll pizza dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer dough to a pizza stone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Let dough rest and proof for 5 to 10 minutes.
04 - Preheat oven to 550°F. Spread an even layer of oxtail gravy over the shaped dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Top sauce evenly with mozzarella cheese. Distribute shredded braised oxtail over the cheese. Brush crust edge with 1 tablespoon truffle oil.
05 - Place pizza on the middle oven rack and bake until cheese is fully melted and crust is golden brown, approximately 8 to 12 minutes.
06 - Remove pizza from oven. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon truffle oil over the surface. Slice and serve hot. Enjoy with your favorite hot sauce if desired.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Shred the oxtail while still slightly warm for easier handling and even distribution on the pizza.
02 - For best results, use a pizza stone preheated in the oven for a crispier crust.
