Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1/4 ounce instant yeast

  (aks “fast-rising” or “fast-acting” dry yeast)
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

  or more as needed – use my homemade buffalo sauce recipe
• 1 small jalapeno pepper

  sliced (optional)
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  or use 3 ounces each of mozzarella and shredded cheddar
• 3 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
• Ranch dressing for serving

  if desired

Instructions

• 1 Add the water to a bowl and stir in the yeast until it is dissolved. Let sit for
  5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
• 2 Stir in sugar, salt and oil. Add the flour and hand mix until a dough ball
  forms. Knead it a couple of minutes. If it feels too sticky, add a bit more
  flour.
• 3 Lightly grease a bowl, add the dough, and roll it around to grease all sides of
  it. Cover and let rise on your counter about 30 minutes. It should double in
  size.
• 4 Roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Hand form the edges for the outer crust.
• 5 Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 6 First, spread out the cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, and jalapeno peppers over
  the pizza crust.
• 7 Evenly spread the cheeses over the top.
• 8 Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is nice and crispy.
• 9 Cool slightly, then slice and serve with ranch dressing, if desired.
