Honey Barbecue Shredded Chicken Pizza

Honey Barbecue Shredded Chicken Pizza

Shredded Honey Barbecue topping:

*6 Chicken Breasts, cooked and shredded

Sauté:

*1 small Red Onion, very thinly sliced
*2 Tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil

*1 bottle 18 ounce Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Barbecue Sauce

Combine the above in a bowl and add to the top of the partially baked crust.

Cheese topping:

*2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, more if desired

Pizza Crust

Proofing the Yeast:

*1 cup warm Water
*1 tablespoon Dry Active Yeast
*2 teaspoon Sugar, food for the yeast

In a small bowl add the above ingredients, let sit until bubbly.

Whisk together:

*1/2 teaspoon Salt
*1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
*2 cups Bread Flour, more if needed

Add:

*1 tablespoon Extra Light Olive Oil

Combine the above ingredients and knead into a soft ball. Roll out soft ball dough into a circle, until right size for your pizza pan. I used an extra-large pizza Pan. I like to use a pizza pan that has holes in the bottom and spray well with cooking spray. (You can also use a very small amount of corn meal on the bottom of pizza pan to help with sticking. )

Note: Fold over the edge of the pizza if you like a thick Crust.

Bake the pizza crust at 500*F for 5 minutes, then remove pizza crust from the oven adding the toppings and bake another 10 minutes.
