Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 cups flour sifted
1 packet instant yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Toppings

1 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup cooked chicken breast shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1/2 cup red onion sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
2 In a large bowl, combine sifted flour, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
4 Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and place it on a piece of parchment paper.
5 Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
6 Top with shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and sliced red onions.
7 Carefully transfer the pizza along with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
8 Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9 Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
