Barbecue Chicken Pizza and Barbera
Recipe to Enjoy with Iron Hub Barbera
Ingredients
Bread Machine Pizza Dough
- 1 cup water room temperature
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 2/3 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbs wheat flour*
- 1 3/4 tsp bread machine yeast
- * You can use all bread flour instead of wheat flour. I use all bread flour.
Barbecue Chicken Pizza
- 1-2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce. I like Sweet Baby Ray’s original
- 1 cup chopped chicken approximately 1 8 oz chicken breast
- 2/3 cup grated gouda cheese
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Edam cheese
- 1/2 sliced red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
Pizza Dough
- Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order as directed by your bread machine.
- Once the bread machine cycle is finished, coat the dough in olive oil and place it in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator overnight. If you are feeling particularly adventurous try basil or garlic-infused olive oil. The slow rise produces a wonderfully light and fluffy crust when cooked.
- When ready to cook. Pull the dough out of the refrigerator a couple of hours ahead of time and allow the dough to come to room temperature.
- Punch the dough down, releasing air bubbles, and portion the dough into the desired size. I typically split this recipe into fours.
- Coat the surface you are working on with flour and roll out to desired thickness. Once rolled out, I typically hold the dough by the edges and pinch and rotate further allowing the dough to shape.
Barbecue Chicken Pizza
- To prevent the pizza toppings from making your pizza crust soggy, brush the shaped dough lightly with olive oil.
- Using your fingers, push dents into the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling.
- Top the dough evenly with BBQ sauce.
- Add the cheeses and red onion.
- Add the cooked chicken, scattering evenly on the pizza.
- Bake the pizza or 12 – 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with Iron Hub Barbera!
