Ingredients
Crust
- 1 tsp. instant or active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 c. warm water
- 4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/3 c. olive oil
For the pizza
- 1 c. alfredo sauce
- 1 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 c. cooked bacon crumbles
- 1 c. chopped artichoke hearts
- 1 c. cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed or shredded
- Chopped parsley optional
Instructions
For the crust
-
In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over (very) warm water; let stand for a few minutes and set aside.
-
In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour.
-
Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined, and the dough comes together in a sticky mass (clean from the sides of the bowl).
-
Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat dough in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 to 2 hours, or store in the fridge until ready to use.
For the pizza
-
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
-
Roll/stretch out one pizza crust (recipe makes two). Lay on a sheet pan or pizza pan/stone drizzled with olive oil. Drizzle a little olive oil on the crust, then sprinkle on a little salt (optional).
-
Evenly spread Alfredo sauce across the top of the crust leaving about an inch from the edge sauce free. Top sauce with cheese, artichoke, chicken and bacon.
-
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and toppings are bubbly.
-
Remove from the oven and sprinkle on chopped parsley. Slice and serve immediately. Repeat with other crust and other ingredients, or save for later!
