Pour juice from the slow cooker over the shredded pork for added flavor.

Melt mozzarella cheese in a glass bowl in the microwave using 30 second intervals until fully melted.

Add the egg to the melted cheese and beat until almost combined.

Add the dry mixture to the cheese and egg mixture, and continue to beat until fully combined.

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until about ¼ inch thick.

Bake the rolled-out dough at 350°F for 10 minutes, then flip it over, add toppings, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
