BBQ chicken pizza

pizza dough:
Make your pizza dough the day ahead. always better! you could use my thin crust recipe, http://derricottfamilyrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/08/best-thin-crust-pizza-dough.html
or use this new one I tried by Pioneer Woman!

Basic Pizza Dough:

* 1 teaspoon Instant Or Active Dry Yeast
* 1-½ cup Warm Water
* 4 cups All-purpose Flour
* 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
* ⅓ cups Olive Oil
Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.
In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment), drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.

Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you need it.

***It’s best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.

***Makes 2 crusts.

Chicken:
Take 2 chicken breasts and pour bbq sauce over the tops of them. Bake at 375 for 30-35 min. You can use your favorite bottled or make your own! This is the one I made.

BBQ Sauce:
16 oz can tomato sauce
1 T. Red wine vine (I only had apple cider)
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 - 2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 - 2 t. soy sauce
1 1/2t. - 1 T. chili powder (however spicy you like it)
1 t. cumin
1/2 t. paprika
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. slat
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes


Pizza:
cut up bbq chicken
red onion
mozzarella cheese
cilantro

Put about 2 T. olive oil on cookie sheet. cut dough in half and take one of the balls and work it into the pan with fingers. Stretch out carefully until it pretty much touches the sides. sprinkle the dough with a little salt, spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on the dough. Put cut up chicken, red onion and mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake at 500 on bottom rack of oven for 15 min. or until golden brown.

once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top! I also liked to sprinkle a bit more bbq sauce over the top too!
