Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-inch size) pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 0.5 red onion
- 2 scallions (green onions)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the hoisin sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the hoisin sauce base.
Spread the shredded cooked chicken across the pizza, ensuring even distribution.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and the red onion into thin rings. Arrange both on top of the pizza as desired.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
While the pizza is baking, chop the scallions and fresh cilantro leaves. Set aside.
Once the pizza is done, carefully remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Garnish the pizza with chopped scallions, cilantro, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy the symphony of flavors in this unique cross-cultural dish!
