Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 295 g bread flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 200 ml warm water ((¾ cup +1 tablespoon))
- ¼ cup greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoons tandoori paste ((notes))
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 340 g raw chicken thighs, fat trimmed and fairly sliced thinly ((¾ lb))
- ½ cup mango chutney
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 small red capsicum, sliced
- 2 cups packed shredded mozzarella ((230g / 8oz))
- Sea salt flakes
- Coriander (cilantro for topping)
Instruction
- FOR THE DOUGH: Combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Give it a mix.
- Make a well in the centre and add the oil and water. Give it a stir again until it's coming together into a dough, then turn it out onto a clean surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. It will start out a little sticky but it will begin to "dry out" a little the more you knead. Try not to add extra flour unless it's sticking all over your hands. You can also use a stand mixer with dough attachment to knead for 7-8 minutes.
- Once the dough is smooth, add a little oil to a medium bowl and rub it a little. Drop in the dough, give it a flip so it has a coating of oil, then cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- MARINATE THE CHICKEN: Combine the yoghurt, tandoori paste, lime juice and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken and mix well to combine, then place in the fridge to marinate.
- PREHEAT THE OVEN to 240C / 475F / 220C fan forced. Place a pizza stone or cast iron pizza tray inside to heat while you prepare the pizza.
- SHAPE THE PIZZA BASE: Once the dough has doubled. cut it in half and roll, pull or press it out to a 12 inch circle (10 inch if you like a thicker crust).
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of baking paper and gently arrange it back into a circle.
- If you want your crust a bit thicker, let it sit for another 15 minutes before topping to puff up a little.
- Repeat with the second if you're baking both now or transfer the other piece of dough to a ziplock bag in the freezer for another time.
- TOP THE PIZZA: Top each pizza base with ¼ cup of mango chutney and spread out. Follow with about ¾ cup of shredded mozzarella on each. Now scatter half the onion and capsicum over each.
- Add the chicken (half on each pizza draped randomly around). Top each with the remaining mozzarella. Sprinkle over a little sea salt flakes.
- Using the corner of the baking paper, drag it onto a flat baking tray or pizza peel.
- Take the pizza tray out of the oven and, using the corner of the paper again, drag the pizza onto the hot tray.
- Bake for Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is crispy and golden.
- Top with fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) and serve immediately.
