BBQ Chicken Pizza

If you ask Micah what his favorite meals are he will begin to recite a "Top 5" list. He will say, "My number one favorite meal is either butternut squash risotto or BBQ chicken pizza." And then he will not recite any more of his list, because there is nothing else on the list. Nothing else I make really compares to my butternut squash risotto or my BBQ chicken pizza.

I've already posted the risotto and last night I made the pizza.

Let's cut to the chase: The dough is the most important part of any homemade pizza. I like thin and crispy pizza crust. I also like to make my dough first before starting anything else, so that it has a little time to relax. I also like to bake my pizzas on parchment paper so that no matter what all of you pizza is consumed and not stuck to your baking sheet. My dough recipe is simple and super easy and it's adapted from Smitten Kitchen:

1 1/2 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of yeast

1 teaspoon of salt

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1/2 cups of water- You may need a bit more.

Combine. Stretch, roll, level out your dough to your desired thickness.

Smear some Head Country BBQ sauce on your dough. Sprinkle cooked chicken, thinly sliced purple onions, cooked chicken, and mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Bake at the highest heat your oven will go to, until the cheese is browned, bubbly, delicious. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top of the hot pizza and ENJOY!
