Pizza Dough

Buffalo Chicken

Toppings

Method

Prepare Pizza Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

Prepare Buffalo Chicken

  1. 5

    Season Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture.

  2. 6

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from grill.

  3. 7

    Toss Chicken in Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, chop it into bite-sized pieces and toss it in buffalo sauce until fully coated.

Assemble Pizza

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 9

    Roll Out Dough

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 10

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the buffalo chicken evenly over the dough, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 11

    Bake Pizza

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

  5. 12

    Drizzle Ranch

    Once out of the oven, drizzle ranch dressing over the pizza and sprinkle with sliced green onions.

  6. 13

    Slice and Serve

    Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve hot.
