Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Cooked chicken (diced)
- 0.25 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper (chopped)
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Lightly grease a large rectangular baking sheet.
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle to fit the baking sheet.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly to the edges.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Divide the pizza visually into four equal squares to create separate flavor zones.
For the first square: Lay out the pepperoni slices evenly.
For the second square: Toss the diced chicken with barbecue sauce and spread it over the section.
For the third square: Scatter the mushrooms and chopped bell pepper.
For the fourth square: Add fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Slice into 8 pieces (2 from each square) and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.
