Barbeque Chicken Pizza - guaranteed to change your life

     Every once in a while I am inspired to make something. My creative outlets consist of many different mediums. Today I'll be working with dough, bbq sauce and delicious combinations of meats and cheeses.Yes my friend, we are about to embark on a pizza adventure. Hold on tight.

First -- I made the dough. It was relatively simple, but if you want to save time, I'm sure

a store bought dough would work just fine. 

41/2 cups bread flour

1 envelope instant yeast (2 1/2 tsp)

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbl olive oil

1 1/2 cup warm water

Combine dry ingredients and put in food processor, add olive oil and warm water

process until dough is in a ball.

move to counter and kneed by hand for 5 minutes or until the dough

is in a smooth ball.

Oil a bowl, place in a warm area and let rise for

45 min to an hour

Viola!  Dough = done

Now to move on to our sauce. I made my own bbq sauce for the base of the pizza

Barbecue Sauce Clone:

 6 oz tomato paste

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup corn syrup (**so bad for you!! I substitued honey)

2 Tbl molasses

2Tbl Vinegar

1/4 tsp liquid smoke:

( I read the recipe wrong and put it 2 Tbl, opps! Tasted more smokey, but still delicious, up to your taste buds)

1/4 caramel coloring (skiped this all together, NOT HEALTHY!)

1 1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic,granulated ( I used a real garlic glove)

1/4 onion power

I mixed it together and heated it so that it caramelized and got a little thick - delish!

Next I made the toppings,

Chicken - cubed and pan fried. I seasoned it with Kirklands nosalt seasoning

Bacon - cut up and fried  ( sorry no pic)

Onions - cut up and fried ( " )

Next I heated the oven to 500 F and heated my pizza stone for 30 min.

Then I made my crust on a floured wooden pizza thinger:

Then transfered it to my hot pizza stone:

Making round pizza dough has never been my strong suit. BUT I did have fun

trying. Flinging it in the air is very stress relieving.

Next, I added all my ingredients.

bbq sauce, a combo of cheese (chedder, mozzarella)

Chicken, bacon, onions,

more cheese

dried cilantro

Masterpiece bbq sauce over the top

Baked at 425 F  for like 25 min

THE END
