Method
Pizza Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Knead Dough
Combine the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
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.
Pizza Assembly
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll Out Dough
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch.
Add BBQ Sauce
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the dough.
Layer Toppings
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute shredded chicken, chopped bacon, and sliced red onion on top.
Bake Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, slice, and serve hot.
