BBQ Chicken Pizza

Recipe From: Amy Griffeth's Sister-in-Law

For Monday Night Football, Blake loves to eat pizza. We used to order out, but Sammie loves to roll out her own dough! We tried this new recipe and it was great! Depending on what meats we have left over, that is the pizza theme. Since coming home from Costa Rica, I haven't really been cooking yet...so there were no leftovers. But, this was easy and really good!

Pizza Dough Ingredients:

2 tbsp yeast
1 tbsp salt
1/4 c. brown sugar
5 c. flour
3 1/2 c. hot water

Gradually stir in 3 1/2 c more flour so dough is not sticky.
Knead 10 minutes.

Let rise 30 minutes.
350 degrees for 25 minutes. (Bake 10-15 minutes, then add toppings and bake until cheese is melted)

Pizza Ingredients:

Chicken Breast (boiled & shredded)

BBQ Sauce

Red Onion

Pineapple Tidbits

FRESH Mozzarella Cheese

Boil and shred the chicken OR slice and marinate with seasonings and bbq sauce. Broil on low and don't overcook, as it will cook longer on the pizza. Combine with pineapple and sliced red onion. Spread bbq sauce on the pizza crust, top with chicken/pineapple/onion mixture. Tear pieces on mozzarella and add all over pizza.

This one is just easy and fun.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 tbsp yeast

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbs vegetable oil

4 cups flour (use about 3 3/4 cups and save the last 1/4 cup to roll out dough)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder (I just shake it once)

Add all ingredients in that order as fast as you can. Put the dough hook on your Kitchen Aid and let it run for about 2 minutes. Then turn it off and leave it alone until it doubles in size...as little as 20 minutes. Divide the dough in half and roll out onto flour. Place unto pan sprayed with Pam. Cook at 475 for 10-12 minutes. The trick is to pre-cook each pizza for about 5-6 minutes without toppings. That way you can either freeze the pizza crust for later, or once you toppings on, it only needs to cook another 5-6 minutes.

I like to make pizza when my family comes over. I prepare all kinds of different toppings, and my little sister Melissa is the creator. Today, I was lazy and only had pepperoni and canadian bacon/pineapple.
