I meant to post this the same night that I made the sweet, tangy and delicious BBQ chicken pizza but I forgot. Here it finally is, sorry its late but just in time for the weekend!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 cups flour
  • 1 package Fleischmann’s Yeast (its what I use, comes in 3 envelopes for a couple bucks)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    •  

    Combine 2 cups of the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the warm water and olive oil. Add the additional flour as needed until you have soft dough (don’t think you need to use the entire amount of flour, just until its the right consistency).

    Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic  usually about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary. Cover the dough with a cloth on the floured surface and let rest for 10 minutes.

    Your dough is now ready to use in your favorite pizza recipe.

    The oven should be pre-heated at 450 degrees and the pizza should only take 8-12 minutes depending on the amount of topping you use. Wait until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.

    If you’re adding a lot of vegetables there is a chance that your pizza will be soggy or moist because the water from the veggies will start to expel during the cooking. Try to keep the veggies out of the centre of the pizza and that should help.
