Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a 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 the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 6

    Prepare the Pizza Base

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 8

    Add Toppings

    Spread the shredded grilled chicken over the BBQ sauce, followed by the thinly sliced red onions. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. 9

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the prepared pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

  6. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, slice, and serve hot.
