Description

Directions

• In a mixing bowl, add 1 teaspoon of yeast to 3/4 cup warm water. Stir until the yeast has dissolved into the water.
• Add 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Combine as much as you can with a spoon.
• Dump flour mixture onto a work surface and knead with your hands until a cohesive ball is formed. If the dough is sticking to your fingers add a bit more flour.
• Cover with the mixing bowl and let rise for 1-2 hours (or 30 minutes if you are hungry)
• To make the garlic-oil sauce, finely mince 2 garlic cloves and add to 2 Tablespoons olive oil along with a pinch of salt. Smoosh the garlic into the oil using the back of a spoon and set aside.
• Chop a single chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and combine with the listed seasoning ingredients in a bowl.
• Saute the chicken in a drizzle of oil over medium high heat until slightly undercooked. Set aside until needed.
• Tear the dough ball in half, and then tear one of the halves in half. This will be enough dough for a super thin 10 crust.
• Give it a quick roll out with a rolling pin and then let it sit for couple minutes, this will reduce the elasticity.
• Then you can roll it out to your desired thinness. Rolling the dough on parchment paper can be easier as it wont stick as much. You can also bake the pizza directly on the parchment paper.
• For my kitchen setup, I start by baking the rolled-out dough for 1-2 minutes at 400F.
• Then add a thin layer of the garlic-oil sauce, followed by the chicken, cheese, and pickled jalapenos.
• Bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
• Serve immediately.
• Optional garnishes include chopped cilantro, Crema, and more pickled jalapenos.
• Buen Provecho!
