Ayubowan! I warmly welcome you to my YouTube channel
Today's recipe will be n how to make Chicken Pizza
First we need to prepare the dough for the pizza
Let's take a look at the ingredients require for the dough
Plain flour 500g
Dry Yeast 2tsp
If you reside in a tropical country, 1tsp of yeast is more than enough for the dough
Sugar 1tsp
Salt 2tsp
Mix well
Oil 2tbs
Lukewarm water 300ml
Knead the dough till the consistency is just right
Transfer the dough on to a flat surface and continue kneading
This is the required consistency of the dough
The surface must be nice and smooth with no lumps and no cracks appear when stretched
Leave it aside to rise for at least an hour
The time for the dough to rise will vary according to the temperature/weather
The dough has risen enough at this point
Next we portion the dough and make into several balls
The size/weight of the balls depend on the tray you will be using
As per the size of my tray, dough balls of 200g would suffice
Cover these up and set aside to rise for a second time for around 15mins
You can use any shaped tray for the pizza
Flatten the dough before placing on the tray
Then flatten again till the dough covers the tray
The dough must be thin in the middle and thicker on the edges
Spread some pizza sauce on the dough
Leave off half an inch from the edges
The thicker the sauce, the better as it wouldn't and much moisture to the pizza
Leaving the dough crispy when baked
Add on a bit of cheese
This helps hold the toppings together as the cheese melts
Next come the toppings
A layer of mushrooms
Don't add too much toppings as it would be too much for the dough to hold due to the moisture
A couple slices of tomatoes
A generous layer of shredded/cut chicken
A layer of capsicum
Some pineapple
Squeeze and drain as much water possible from the pineapples
Some onions
A pinch of salt
Sprinkle some herbs or pepper for taste, if required
A layer of cheese to top it off
Pre heat the oven to 180-190C
After cooking for 20mins the pizza is ready to be served
The base is nice and crispy, no moisture
Therefore, try and use vegetables with less moisture
Feel free to customize the topping however you like
Do not go overboard with the toppings
Specially when it comes to vegetables
Makes the base soggy
