# Instructions:
01 -
Toss salt, yeast, and sifted flour in a big bowl or your mixer. Give them a good mix. In another bowl, mix warm water with sugar until it dissolves. Slowly pour the sugar water into the dry stuff, mixing with your mixer on low. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and keep mixing till you get a sticky dough ball.
02 -
Move the dough to a floured counter and knead until it's smooth like playdough, about 5–7 minutes. Put it in an oiled bowl, drizzle another tablespoon of olive oil on top, cover, and let it chill somewhere warm till it’s doubled—about an hour.
03 -
Sprinkle both sides of your chicken with chipotle blend, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. Heat butter in a pan over medium-high, toss in the chicken, and cook it until it's golden and cooked through, flipping once. Shred it up on a board while it’s still warm.
04 -
Mix mayo, minced garlic, lime juice, chipotle seasoning, salt, and black pepper all together in a bowl. Set aside for later.
05 -
When your dough has puffed up, pull it out and gently stretch it on some flour. Make it whatever shape and thickness you like.
06 -
Get your oven heating to 220°C. Lay stretched dough on a baking stone or tray. Slather on BBQ sauce, then sprinkle over mozzarella, add shredded chicken, scatter bacon, toss on red onion, tomatoes, and finish with your herbs.
07 -
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until you see melty cheese, gold edges, and the base all cooked through.
08 -
Take out your pizza, splash that chipotle sauce all over, slice it up, and dig in while it's hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting dough puff up in a cozy spot helps it turn out light and super fluffy.
02 -
Shred your mozzarella yourself for way better melting and browning than the pre-shredded stuff.
