I've been craving barbeque chicken pizza. Which is unusual, because I normally don't care much for it. But I made one from scratch last night.
Pizza Dough (bread machine):
1 cup beer
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 packet yeast
Put in bread machine, set to pizza dough (or dough, depending on your machine) setting, mine takes about 45 minutes. Grease a round pan, smoosh dough into it, let it rest for about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 while waiting, prick it all over with a fork, then pop it in for about 15 minutes to pre-bake a bit.
Topping:
Put a big frying pan with a pat of butter on low, cut up half an onion (better: red onion, but I didn't have one) and let it start sizzling away in the pan, cooking slowly. In the meantime, I used two boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into rough strips/chunks, and then threw them into the pan when the onions started getting brown. Dump barbeque sauce all over this mess. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ, use your favourite. If your crust is done pre-baking, drizzle BBQ sauce over the crust like you would tomato sauce, as light or as thick as you prefer. Keep stirring that chicken now and then, making sure it all gets cooked. Shred up some colby-jack. I don't use exact measurements, here, I just go by preference. I probably had about a cup of it for a 14" pizza.
Is your chicken done cooking? Pour this glop onto the sauce on the pizza. Cover with cheese. Bake for about 16 minutes in a 350 oven. Enjoy. Have heart attack.
