Pizza Dough

Method

Prepare the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour along with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

Assemble the Pizza

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into your desired pizza shape.

  3. 7

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the base of the pizza dough.

  4. 8

    Add Chicken and Onions

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

  5. 9

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.

Bake the Pizza

  1. 10

    Bake

    Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  2. 11

    Garnish and Serve

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