BBQ Chicken Pizza {Annah}

    
We really loved this pizza. We have never made BBQ chicken pizza and it was really easy and delicious. We both love BBQ sauce, but for me it is hard because there is not much that I can put it on. This was a nice change to the normal cheese and pepperoni pizzas we make, and we will be making this more often.
  I made the crust from a Fleischmann's yeast packet. This is more effort then just buying a made crust. It doesn't take as long as homemade crust because you don't have to wait for it to rise. The crust is very soft and light. It was good, but I would have liked it better if it was a little more crusty and dense.
  If you enjoy BBQ sauce and pizza, definitely think about making this for a Friday night in!

Crust:

1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast

1-1/2 teaspoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup very warm water (120 to 130°F)*

3 tablespoons oil

1/2 to 1 cup pizza sauce

Other toppings as desired

1 to 2 cups (4 to 8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.  Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.  Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.

Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet.  OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. I also rolled my dough in cornmeal because I heard that is what Little Caesar's does and I miss that place.


Pizza Ingredients:
BBQ sauce
Gouda cheese
Purple onion
Cooked chicken
Parmesan cheese

Spread BBQ sauce over the top of the pizza leaving one inch from the edge free of sauce.

Thinly slice half of a purple onion and shred about a cup of Gouda cheese. Place your precooked chicken in a bowl and put enough BBQ sauce on the chicken to cover it, then mix. Spread the chicken over the top of the pizza crust (we only put it on half the pizza for Tyler). Next cover the crust with the Gouda cheese and then evenly place your onions on top of the cheese. I also added Parmesan cheese on the edge of the crust.

 Bake on lowest oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.
