Switcheroo-βbq Chicĸen Pizża

Okay, change of plans. .

I am aborting the cookie recipe I found online. I was unhappy with how the cookies turned out. I need to Jewelamite the recipe. It just needs to be tweaked a bit.

But, no worries.
I have a pizza recipe for you instead.                

Bbq Chicken Pizza.
This is so easy. .

You will need:


Ingredients for dough

1 pkg. dray active yeast
1 c. warm/hot water
3 c. flour- I used spelt flour
1 1/2 tsp. honey or agave nectar
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 c. olive oil

Follow directions, on back of yeast packet, for dissolving yeast. Dissolve in the 1 c. of warm/hot water. When the yeast has dissolved, combine with  the flour, salt, olive oil, and honey or agave nectar. Then get to kneading. It is best to add the flour a half cup at a time, as you knead the dough. Otherwise you will get bogged down. After you have kneaded everything together set your ball of dough aside and let it rise for 20 - 30 minutes.

If you want a more flavorful dough-                  
 add  1 to 1 1/2 tbsp of Pesto. So yummy!!
or knead in 1/2 c. parm cheese.

You can really add any herb or cheese you like to kick up the flavor.

Ingredients for Bbq Chicken


1 rotisserie hen
1 bottle of bbq sauce. Preferably a sweeter bbq sauce. Anything in the description that says hickory, brown sugar, or molasses should do the trick.

Okay, I like to make things as easy as possible. Time savers!
I used a rotisserie hen from Publix. Pull the perfectly "rotisserie-d" chicken off the bone and toss it in a pot with the bbq sauce. Turn the unit on low and let it simmer there for a few minutes.

Easy right?!

Sautéed zucchini, this is optional.
I diced some zucchini and sautéed it in olive oil with a little salt and pepper.

Assembly


Stretch your dough out into the shape and thickness that suits you. Round. Square, Oval, Rectangle, Fat crust, Thin crust. .
Brush a little olive oil on your dough. Spread your  bbq chicken mixture generously over your dough. Then add your zucchini, or any other veggie of your choice. You could even do a veggie medley. Top your pizza with lots of mozzarella cheese!

Bake your pizza on 475° for 15 -20 minutes. It's done when the crust is golden!

We quite enjoyed this pizza. It does come with a "warning". .
It fills you up and it fills you up fast! You will be stuffed! This is because it's not like the grease, fat laden restaurant pizza you're used to. This pizza is real. So when you're stuffed, feel proud! You just ate real pizza. Not grease and fat.
                                         
                                                   Happy Eating,  my Foodamite's
