BBQ Chicken and Bacon Pizza

BBQ Chicken and Bacon Pizza

This is the most delicious pizza I've ever made!

Preheat Oven to 450

Crust:

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2 1/2 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons light olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped sage
• 1 tablespoon chopped Greek Oregano

Sauce:

• Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon light olive oil (mix together)

Toppings: 

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup chopped black olives
• 1 large chicken breast - cooked and cubed (remember to salt and pepper the breast when cooking)
• 4 strips of bacon - cook until just crispy, chopped
• 3/4 cup Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

Special Instructions: 

• Start by mixing the dough ingredients - set aside in a bowl and cover while getting the toppings ready. I like to roll the dough out to be about a half inch thick, not too thin, not too thick; that way you get a crunchy bottom with a nice chewy center. 
• Prepare your pizza pan by drizzling olive oil on it and then sprinkling lightly with flour or a little bit of corn meal. 
• First spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce then add other ingredients and cook on 450 for 20-25 minutes - check crust after 20 min. by placing spatula and lifting so that you can judge how done the center is.
