Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix BBQ Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 6

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 7

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 8

    Add the BBQ Sauce

    Spread half of the BBQ sauce on one half of the pizza and leave the other half for the traditional toppings.

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    On the BBQ half, add shredded chicken and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. On the other half, arrange sliced pepperoni, sliced red onion, and sliced bell peppers, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

  5. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
