BBQ Chicken Pizza

I got these recipe's from my friend Tauna, who is an amazing cook!!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

½ cup Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, plus more for chicken
¼ cup of pizza sauce (see following recipe)
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
½ red onion
mozzarella cheese

Mix ½ cup BBQ sauce and pizza sauce together, set aside. In a separate bowl mix cooked chicken and desired amount of BBQ together, set aside. Saute red onion. Spread sauce over uncooked pizza crust (see following recipe), top with desired amount of cheese, then top with chicken mixture and red onion. Place in 450 degrees oven on pizza stone. Cook for 8-10 minutes.

Pizza Sauce (Makes 3 to 4 pizzas)

I often make a double batch and freeze the extras so I always have it on hand.

28 oz can tomatoes
3 oz tomato paste
4 Tbsp Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 tsp oregano
1 Tbsp garlic (heaping)
3/4 Tbsp black pepper
3 tsp sugar
2 tsp dried basil

Put all ingredients in blender and mix. Allow flavors to mix for one hour.


Pizza Crust (Makes 1 pizza)

This crust recipe can be multiplied depending on how many pizzas you want. It also makes good bread sticks.

1 Tbsp yeast
1 cup warm water
1 Tbsp sugar
¼ cup olive oil or cooking oil
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour (I often do 2 cups wheat and 1 cup white flour)

Mix the yeast with water and sugar, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the oil and salt, then add the flour and knead until smooth, adding more flour if needed. Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Place pizza stone in oven and then preheat to 450 degrees. Sprinkle cornmeal on a piece of parchment paper and roll pizza dough out on parchment paper. Top as desired and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
