About the Recipe
A healthy way to eat BBQ chicken pizza.
Ingredients
For the Crust
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoon instant dry yeast
2 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon olive oil
For the Pizza
1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup T-Bones BBQ Sauce + 2 Tablespoons
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 of a small red onion, thinly sliced
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Minced cilantro for garnish, if desired
Instructions
For the Crust
Preheat oven to 450°F, arrange a rack in the bottom third of the oven, and line a baking sheet with baking paper
In a small bowl or jug, combine the warm water and instant dry yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow the yeast to dissolve and become foamy.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.
Using a wooden spoon, create a well in the middle of the combined dry ingredients.
Pour in the yeast mixture and oil and mix together.
Stir the dough until it is smooth and well combined, about 5 minutes.
Once dough is ready, place on the prepared baking sheet and press into a thin, even 10-inch circle (or 2 5-inch circles).
Par-bake for 8 - 10 minutes, or until the top of the base is dry and starting to brown.
For the Pizza
Prepare and par-bake the crust as directed above or following the directions of your favorite homemade or store bought crust.
In a small bowl, toss the chicken with the 2 Tablespoons of T-Bones BBQ Sauce.
Spread the 1/4 cup of T-Bones BBQ Sauce in an even layer of sauce over the crust, then spread the coated chicken over the crust. Cover with the mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese.
Scatter the onion and bacon over the top of the pizza.
Return to the oven and bake for a further 10 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, garnish with cilantro, if desired, then slice and serve.
