Instructions

• 1 In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine the
  sugar, yeast, and ½ cup of warm water, then whisk until the yeast has dissolved
  completely.
• 2 Leave the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes, then add the rest of the warm water,
  olive oil, and salt.
• 3 With the mixer at low speed, slowly add in half of the flour and mix until
  combined.
• 4 Mix in the rest of the flour and then knead at medium-low speed until a smooth,
  elastic, and slightly sticky dough is formed.
• 5 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it to rest in a warm place until the
  dough has doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
• 6 Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into two halves.
• 7 Preheat your oven to 450 F / 230 C (or appropriate temperature if you’re using a
  pizza oven).
• 8 Place one section of dough onto a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
• 9 Use your fingers to spread and shape the dough until you create a 12-inch round,
  then repeat with the second section of dough.
• 10 Evenly spread ¼ cup of barbecue sauce over each dough round.
• 11 Toss the cooked chicken with the remaining ½ cup of barbecue sauce.
• 12 Scatter the chicken evenly over each pizza.
• 13 Top the chicken with the shredded mozzarella and sliced red onion.
• 14 Bake each pizza for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and top with fresh
  cilantro.
• 15 Slice, serve, and enjoy.
