Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili paste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
  • Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes, then let it rest, covered, for 30 minutes until doubled.
  2. Make the Chili Garlic Sauce: Heat olive oil in a small saucepan, then sauté garlic until fragrant. Stir in chili paste, smoked paprika, honey, and soy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Season the Chicken: Toss the shredded chicken with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the Dough Base: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the chili garlic sauce evenly over the dough. Add the seasoned chicken, red onions, bell peppers, and cheeses.
  6. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving.

Notes

For the crispiest crust, use a pizza stone and preheat it in the oven. Adjust the chili garlic sauce to your spice preference. Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to make slicing easier.
