Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza Recipes

CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the crust, add yeast and sugar to warm water and allow to proof for 5 minutes. While the yeast is proofing, combine the salt, olive oil, and flour in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached. When your yeast mixture is nice and bubbly, add it to the bowl of the stand mixer, turn it on, and let it go for about 5 minutes. It should mix the dough and then start to knead it. The dough should be soft but not sticky; add more flour if necessary. Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into a nice ball. Pour a little more olive oil into the bottom of the bowl and put the dough back in, turning it once to coat with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set it in a warm spot, and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
• When the dough has risen, punch it down, remove it from the bowl, and place it on a clean, well-floured counter. At this point, I always divide the dough into 3 equal portions so that my pizzas are a manageable size. Roll each portion out to a thickness of 1/8-1/4".
