Barbecue Chicken Pizza

My friend Britt has an amazing cooking blog. I always head to her site when I'm at a loss for a meal. I've tried several pizza dough recipes, but I always come back to Britt's. It's perfect.

1 tablespoon quick rise yeast

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup very warm water (as hot as you can get it from your tap)

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups white flour

a little bit less than 2 cups whole wheat flour

a teaspoon or so of olive oil (or none if you prefer)

Combine yeast, sugar and water in large bowl. stir until it starts to bubble.

Add salt and flour (and oil if you wish). knead just until combined.

Cover and let rise - minimum 1 hour, but it's better if you let it rise for 2 hours.

Roll out dough. top with desired toppings.

Cook in oven at 400 for 10-15 minutes.

Makes crusts for 2 pizzas (i make them on large cookie sheets)


Barbecue Chicken Topping:

1/4 cup barbecue sauce

1 chicken breast, cubed

1/2 bottle barbecue sauce

1/2 jar pasta sauce

1/2 bunch chopped cilantro

Red (purple?) Onions, sliced


Cook cubed chicken in 1/4 cub barbecue sauce. Cook through. And then set aside.

Heat barbecue sauce and pasta sauce together with chopped cilantro.

Spread sauce over pizza. Top with barbecue chicken, sliced onions and mozzarella cheese.


Mmmmmmm.
