Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza

So I was just looking through my old posts, and found it bizarre that I had yet to post any of my pizzas. Through the years, pizza, homemade right down to the crust, has become my penultimate specialty of sorts. So finally, here to fill the void, is my personal favorite among the pizzas that I make - Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza...

Pizza Dough

14in pizza pan
2 1/2 cups flour
1 packet rapid-rise or pizza yeast
1 cup very warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons cornmeal
~2/3 tablespoon parsley
~1/2 tablespoon oregano
~8oz low-moisture mozzarella, for topping

1. On large, flat, clean surface, spread thin layer of flour. Lightly oil pizza pan and set aside.
2. In large mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, yeast, cornmeal, parsley, and oregano.
3. Stir in olive oil and warm water. Knead dough by hands, adding small amounts of additional flour as needed, until dough is thick and elastic and no longer as sticky (roughly 5 minutes). Form dough into ball, place on floured surface and cover. Allow to rise for 8-10 minutes.
4. Using rolling pin or lightly floured wine bottle, roll dough to size of pan. Spread hands wide and flat to transport dough from table to pan.
5. Top as desired, with initial layer of tomato sauce (substitute Famous Dave's Devil Spit BBQ Sauce if making Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza), 2nd layer of mozzarella and slight sprinkling of mozzarella above desired toppings (see below for Spicy BBQ Chicken recipe). Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned.


Spicy BBQ Chicken Topping

2 medium-large chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 sweet vidalia onion, coarsely chopped
~1/2 bottle Famous Dave's Devil Spit BBQ Sauce

1. In medium lightly-oiled skillet, cook chicken and onion 4-5 minutes.
2. Add Famous Dave's BBQ sauce and continue to cook another 6-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce begins to thicken.
3. Remove from heat and spread evenly over mozzarella layer on pizza. Top with slight sprinkling of mozzarella, then cook as above.
