Ingredients

Preparation Method



Kick off your pizza adventure by preparing the dough. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water, and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it's creamy and frothy. This is a sign that your yeast is active and ready to go. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and olive oil. Then, pour in the yeast mixture and stir everything together until it forms a dough.

Once you have your dough, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it's smooth, elastic, and springs back when lightly pressed. Then, let it rest in a greased bowl, covered, until it's doubled in size. This should take about an hour, but keep an eye on it.

While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and start working on your toppings. Sauté your chicken breasts in a pan until they're fully cooked, then shred them and mix with half a cup of the barbecue sauce.

Roll out your dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Then, scatter the shredded chicken, chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, and cheese all over the sauce.

Bake your pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Once it's done, let it cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro if you're using it, slice, and serve.

Tips and Conclusion


For a twist on this recipe, consider adding some sweet elements to balance the savory flavors. Pineapple chunks, for instance, can provide a delightful contrast to the smoky barbecue sauce and salty bacon. If you have leftovers, simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The pizza can be enjoyed cold or warmed up in the oven for a quick meal.
