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.
