Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 16 ounces) Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, roughly a 12-inch circle.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil and prick it all over with a fork to prevent it from bubbling up in the oven.
Using a flat surface like a pizza peel or a cutting board, transfer the prepared dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border along the edges for the crust.
Spread the shredded chicken over the sauce, followed by an even layer of mozzarella cheese.
Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the top of the mozzarella layer.
Sprinkle the smoked Gouda cheese over the toppings and sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on top.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
