Ingredients
For the Pizza Dough:
★ 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
★ 1 teaspoon sugar
★ 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
★ 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
★ 1 teaspoon salt
★ 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Pizza Toppings:
★ 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
★ 1 cup pizza sauce
★ 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
★ 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (red and green)
★ 1/2 cup sliced red onions
★ 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
★ 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
★ Fresh basil leaves for garnish
★ Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pizza Dough:
☆ In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
☆ In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
☆ Mix until the dough comes together. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
☆ Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
2. Assemble and Bake:
☆ Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
☆ Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into your desired pizza shape on a floured surface.
☆ If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper. If not, place the dough on a greased baking sheet.
☆ Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
☆ Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked and shredded chicken.
☆ Scatter sliced bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and black olives on top.
☆ Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper if using a pizza stone) onto the preheated stone or into the oven.
☆ Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
3. Final Touch:
☆ Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
☆ Garnish with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese.
☆ Slice and serve your Farmhouse Chicken Pizza hot, embracing the flavors of the farm at your table.
