Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough into 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.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness and shape.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Top with shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, red onion slices, and finally sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the 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.

  5. 9

    Garnish

    Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top before slicing.
