(From the Martha Stewart magazine; Everyday Food)
1 ½ cups warm water (115 degrees)
2 packets (1/4 oz each) dry active yeast
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for bowl
2 T sugar
2 t course salt
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups whole-wheat flour
Place water in a large bowl, sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Brush another large bowl with oil.
In bowl with yeast, whisk sugar, oil, and salt. Stir in flours with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Transfer to oiled bowl. Brush the top of dough with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands knead until smooth, about 15 seconds; divide into two balls.
The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza
(From the California Pizza Kitchen Cookbook)
To make BBQ chicken:
10 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾ inch pieces
1 T olive oil
2 T BBQ sauce
In a large skillet, cook the chicken in olive oil over medium high heat until just cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside in refrigerator until chilled through. Once chilled, coat the chicken with bbq sauce; set aside.
To make pizza:
Pizza Dough (see above)
½ cup favorite BBQ sauce
2 T shredded smoked gouda cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ small red onion, sliced thinly
Roll out dough to fit well oiled pizza pan. Place dough in pan. Using a large spoon, spread sauce onto dough. Sprinkle with gouda cheese and 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese. Distribute the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese. Place onion over the surface. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella over the top of the pizza. Place pizza in 450 degree oven and cook until crust is crisp and cheese is bubbly, about 18-20 minutes.

Chicken Alfredo Pizza
Submitted by: Katie
Ingredients:
SAUCE
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
GARLIC BUTTER
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch dried rosemary
1 pinch salt
DOUGH
1 cup warm water
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 boneless chicken breast halves, roasted
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
To Make Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Blend in salt, pepper and flour, then stir in the milk and Romano cheese. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
To Make the Garlic Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Blend in the garlic, rosemary, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is tender but not browned. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
To Make the Dough: Pour the warm water into a small bowl and stir in the yeast until dissolved. Allow to rest until yeast foams, about 5 minutes. Mix the vegetable oil, sugar, salt, rosemary, and garlic powder together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture, and gradually stir in the flour. Gather into a loose ball and knead until a smooth ball forms. Cover, and let rest 1/2 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Season the roasted chicken with rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and salt. Chop or shred and reserve.
To Assemble the Pizza: Spread dough out on prepared pizza stone. Top with cooled garlic butter, covering entire crust. Next spread with Alfredo Sauce (if necessary, warm to spreading consistency), leaving crust edges. Top with chicken, turning to coat with sauce.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until bottom crust is lightly browned. Remove from oven and let set for 2 to 3 minutes before cutting.
