Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make Dough

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

  3. 3

    Knead and Rise

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Buffalo Chicken Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Chicken and Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 5

    Prepare Cheese Mixture

    In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese until smooth. Fold in shredded mozzarella cheese until combined.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 6

    Preheat 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 into your desired shape (round or rectangular).

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Chicken

    Spread the cream cheese and mozzarella mixture over the pizza dough. Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken on top.

  4. 9

    Bake Pizza

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

Finishing Touches

  1. 10

    Garnish

    Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions. Add fresh parsley for garnish.

  2. 11

    Serve
