Chicken Bacon Pizza Recipe

Activate the Yeast

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

Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it along with the olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

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

Let the Dough Rise

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

Prepare the Toppings

While the dough is rising, chop the cooked chicken breast, cooked bacon slices, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Shape the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a circular shape to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Add Toppings

Evenly distribute the chopped chicken, bacon, and red onion over the cheese.

Bake the Pizza

Transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Slice and serve hot.
