Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup warm water (around 110 degrees)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 cups flour (all-purpose or bread flour)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup chopped (cooked chicken)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 ounces mozzarella (shredded)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
  • ranch dressing or blue cheese (for serving)

Instruction

  • To make the dough, place the warm water and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let bloom, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture and turn the mixer (fitted with the dough hook) to medium. Knead until the dough comes together to form a smooth dough. You may need to add more flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough comes together. Remove dough to an oiled bowl and place in the oven with the light turned on.
  • Let rise for one hour, or until doubled in bulk.
  • Set the oven to 500 degrees after the dough has risen for about 30 minutes.
  • When the dough has doubled, punch it down.
  • Roll the dough out on a well floured surface to a 12 inch circle and place on a pizza stone or pan.
  • Microwave the cream cheese until very soft and melty. Stir the ranch seasoning into the cream cheese to combine.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust evenly.
  • Sprinkle all but 1/4 cup of the cheese over the crust.
  • Toss the chicken with the hot sauce to coat and spread the chicken evenly over the cheese.
  • Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the dough is golden and the cheese has melted.
  • Sprinkle with green onions and drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the pizza before serving, if desired.
