Instructions
Pizza Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add sifted flour, salt, and yeast. Whisk together until well combined on low speed. Proof your yeast prior to ensure it is alive if unsure – see notes section above. Then remove whisk attachment, and add dough hook.
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Mix together until sugar has dissolved. Slowly pour sugar water mixture into the flour mixture and mix on medium-low speed (speed level 3). Add 2 tbsp olive oil, and continue mixing all ingredients together on a low speed. Do so until the dough begins to stick together, forming a loose dough ball. The dough should have a tacky, putty-like feel.
- Place dough ball on a clean and lightly floured surface, knead until a smooth dough ball forms, which bounces back quickly when poked. Then, place dough in a large mixing bowl, and drizzle with approx. 1 tbsp olive oil, ensuring surface is fully covered. Cover with dish towel or shower cap, placing in a warm area for an hour or until dough has doubled in size.
- While dough proofs, prepare the toppings. After an hour, or when dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl and stretch to desired size.
Chipotle Chicken
- Season chicken breasts with chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, italian herb blend, salt and pepper. Then heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and pan fry until golden on the outside and cooked through (flip at the halfway point). Remove from skillet, place on cutting board or plate and shred using 2 forks. Set aside.
Chipotle Drizzle
- In a small mixing bowl, add all the ingredients – mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, chipotle seasoning, salt, black pepper, stir until incorporated and set aside.
Homemade Chipotle BBQ Chicken Pizza
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add a layer of BBQ sauce on the prepared pizza, then add mozzarella cheese, shredded chipotle chicken, bacon crumble, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley or cilantro. Place in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden, middle baked through and cheese melted. Remove from oven, add Chipotle drizzle, slice, serve and enjoy!
