Ingredients Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings:
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 200 grams cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a greased, covered bowl for 1 hour.
- Prepare the Toppings:
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Cook the shredded chicken until browned, set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add the remaining oil, sauté onion and bell peppers until softened. Season with soy sauce, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
- Assemble and Cook the Pizza:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle, and lightly brush with olive oil. Place in the skillet, cooking until golden on the bottom.
- Spread pizza sauce, add chicken, vegetables, and sprinkle with mozzarella and red pepper flakes.
- Cover and cook until the cheese melts and the crust is perfectly crisp.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Tips for Success
- Skillet Size: Ensure your skillet is large enough to accommodate the stretched dough.
- Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varying flavors.
- Dough Consistency: If the dough is sticky, gradually add a bit more flour while kneading.
Health Benefits
This pizza offers a healthier alternative to traditional pizzas with controlled ingredients that reduce overall calories without sacrificing flavor. Bell peppers add a good dose of vitamins A and C, while using olive oil provides heart-healthy fats.
