Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F or 43°C) and sugar. Sprinkle in the active dry yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Stir until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4-inch thick.

  3. 7

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a parchment paper or pizza peel. Spread 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce over the base of the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 8

    Add Chicken and Onions

    Evenly distribute the shredded cooked chicken and sliced red onion over the BBQ sauce.

  5. 9

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken and onions. Drizzle a little more BBQ sauce on top if desired.

  6. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 11

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
