How to prepare Copycat California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe


Ingredients:

For the pizza dough:

  • > 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

  • > 1 teaspoon sugar

  • > 3/4 cup warm water

  • > 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • > 1 teaspoon salt

  • > 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the BBQ chicken topping:

  • > 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast

  • > Salt and pepper to taste

  • > 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

  • > 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • > 1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese

  • > 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

  • > 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.


  3. 2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.


  5. 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.


  7. 4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.


  9. 5. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.


  11. 6. While the dough is rising, prepare the BBQ chicken topping. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill it or cook it in a skillet until cooked through. Let it cool slightly, then shred it into small pieces.


  13. 7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into your desired pizza shape and thickness.


  15. 8. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.


  17. 9. Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the shredded mozzarella and smoked Gouda cheeses.


  19. 10. Add the shredded BBQ chicken on top of the cheese. Scatter the sliced red onions over the chicken.


  21. 11. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.


  23. 12. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.


  25. 13. Slice the pizza and serve hot. Enjoy your homemade California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Note: Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preference. You can add additional ingredients like diced bell peppers, corn kernels, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
