Happy Labor Day everyone! This weekend I made one of my favorite things, homemade pizza! I made the crust ahead of time using a recipe from How to Make Everything Vegetarian.
Pizza Dough
Ingredients: (makes 2 pizza crusts)
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of water and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Stir to combine. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand into a round dough ball. Put the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a bowl and turn the dough ball in it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 1-2 hours. Split dough in half and roll dough out onto a floured surface into a round crust. Allow dough to rise for another 20 minutes before adding topping and baking.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 pizza crust (see recipe above)
- 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 large chicken breast, cubed and cooked
- mozzarella and parmesan cheese
Cover pizza dough with barbeque sauce. Add chicken and scallions. Cover with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350*F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Yum! This was one of the best pizzas ever! What’s your favorite kind of pizza?
