Ingredients
Homemade Pizza Dough From Scratch
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons quick-rise yeast or pizza yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
BBQ Chicken Ranch Pizza
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- ½ cup red onion diced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- chopped cilantro optional garnish
Instructions
Make Pizza Dough
- Combine yeast and sugar with warm water in a small bowl. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy on top. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or the dough hook on a stand mixer. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and place in the greased pan.
Assemble BBQ Chicken Ranch Pizza
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Combine the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing in a small bowl. Toss the shredded cooked chicken with a few spoonfuls of the BBQ ranch sauce.
- Spread the barbecue ranch sauce evenly on the pizza crust. Top with chicken, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with fresh cilantro if you like, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For a thicker-crust pizza, let it rise for 10-15 minutes after placing it in the pizza pan. For a thin-crust pizza, don't allow any rise time; prepare the pizza right away.
- Feel free to use premade pizza dough or naan bread for individual pizzas.
- You can also use rotisserie chicken to save on time.
- Do not skip covering the chicken in BBQ sauce before placing it on the pizza. This prevents the chicken from being too dry.
