Barbecue Chicken Pizza

INGREDIENTS

 

DOUGH:

1 1/2 cup of warm water
1 tbsp active dry yeast
pinch of salt
3 1/2 cup of flour
1 tbsp olive oil
little bit of flour for kneading

TOPPINGS:


2 chicken quarters
half a jar of bbq sauce
1 jar of pizza sauce
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

A. In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp of active dry yeast with 1 and 1/2 cup of warm water. Let that sit for 5 minutes. 

B. In a larger bowl, combine 3 and 1/2 cup of flour and sprinkle of salt. Create a well in the middle then pour the yeast mixture in it.

C. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil.

D. Gently stir until it all comes together in a ball. 

Lightly flour a flat surface. Knead the dough until it’s smooth. Brush a little bit of oil into a bowl. Place the dough inside, cut a cross on top, then lightly brush the top with oil. Cover the bowl to let the dough rise for 2 hours. The dough should double it’s size.

While the dough is rising, the chicken should be done cooking after 40 minutes. Take ‘em out of the oven and let them completely cool in the counter. Once cooled, pull the chicken meat from the bones. You don’t want the bones in your pizza. Set the chicken meat aside until ready to assemble the pizza.

Preheat the oven to 355°.

After 2 hours, the dough should’ve doubled in size. Brush the bottom of a round pizza pan with olive oil. Dump the dough into the pan and just stretch it out to take a round shape. 

Start layering the toppings. First is the pizza sauce, then the bbq chicken, shredded cheddar cheese. Then stick it in the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes.
