BBQ chicken pizza

I woke up late yesterday which meant I was pretty much just going to have brunch! I hadn’t gone to the store yet, so I was searching for what I could make. I decided to make a pizza. I used to be so afraid of making dough with yeast, but it couldn’t be easier. And with my sister Biz’s dough recipe, it doesn’t even need to rise.

Dough

1 cup warm water
1 packet of yeast
2 cups flour

In a mixer with a dough hook, place all the ingredients in the mixer and mix for about 4-5 minutes or until the sides of the bowl are clean and the dough is soft. It will be a little sticky.

3 oz. of dough is only 150 calories and I roll it out thin so it seems like I have more.

Roll out the dough on a surface dusted with flour. Add more flour as necessary so it doesn’t stick to the counter.

Next I added:

The BBQ sauce was my base since I didn’t have any tomato sauce. As you can see we buy the industrial size!

Next came:

I had red onion, diced, 2 oz. leftover chicken, and 1 oz. of monterey jack cheese.

I actually will cook the pizza dough first for about 5 minutes because I like a crispy crust. Just poke the dough with a fork all over so it doesn’t puff up when you bake it.

Once its cooked for 5 minutes, just take out of the oven, add the bbq sauce and ingredients and bake for another 10 minutes or so.

This whole pizza came in at 480 calories…not bad!

Before eating, I sprinkled it with salt and pepper and a little oregano, and a douse of hot sauce. It was delish… the only bad part? Now my kids wanted their own pizzas! Luckily they let me eat first 🙂
