Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1 ⅔ cup warm water
  • 2 ¼ tsp dry active yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

Grilled Chicken

Toppings

  • 24 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 16 oz medium cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 cups your favorite BBQ Sauce
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves chopped

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the dough by mixing warm water, yeast, olive oil, salt, and flour in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer with a dough hook. Divide dough into 8 equal balls and let rise on a lightly oiled baking sheet, covered with a damp towel, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat your grill for grilling chicken breasts
  • Season chicken breasts with Sweet Brown Sugar Rub and grill until internal temperature reaches 165F (about 7-8 minutes per side). Let rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing thinly.
  • Arrange shredded cheese, sliced chicken, sliced red onions, BBQ sauce, and cilantro on a cutting board near your prep station.
  • Coat hands with olive oil, shape dough balls into disks with even thickness.
  • Layer BBQ sauce, mozzarella, chicken, red onions, and cheddar cheese onto the pizza dough
  • Place BBQ pizza in the pizza oven and rotate often to ensure evenly cooked crust
  • Transfer pizza to a cutting board, drizzle with more BBQ sauce if desired, and serve. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
