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.
