Equipment

  • 1 pizza stone preheated
  • 1 blender
  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

  • 2 large roasted red peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pizza Toppings

  • 1 cup grilled chicken sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and warm water. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, garlic, olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F with a pizza stone inside to ensure a crisp crust.
  • Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Spread the red pepper sauce over the rolled-out dough. Top with grilled chicken and mozzarella cheese.
  • Transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Serving

  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Storage

  • Place leftover slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture. Roast your own peppers for a more authentic taste.
Ingredient Substitutions: Swap mozzarella with provolone for a different flavor profile.
How to Serve: Pair with a simple green salad and a crisp white wine.
Storage & Freshness: Consume within 3 days for best flavor and texture.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the sauce and dough a day in advance to save time on the day of baking.
