Happy pizza Friday!! I’ve been saving this one for you. It’s special.

I had put my original love of barbecue chicken pizza on hold for quite a while, because I’ve been seriously obsessed with the chicken enchilada pizza. If you’ve tried it, I’m sure you totally understand. And if you haven’t, then you need to… because SO GOOD. But barbecue chicken pizza still has the key to my pizza loving heart…or belly. Almost all of it.

It’s sweet. It’s spicy. It’s crispy and cheesy and everything you desire in a good pizza.

Easy to make homemade dough with a medley of fresh ingredients. Don’t just enjoy that fresh local corn eaten straight from the cob. I mean, it’s amazing that way, but be sure to throw it on some other things while it’s around too, like this pizza!

I’m a huge fan of thin crust over thick crust pizza so…

Thin crust barbecue chicken pizza with crispy bacon, fresh corn and onions.

Ingredients
 

Dough:

  • 1/2 C water, heated to 115°F
  • 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 C all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil, if needed

Toppings:

  • 1/2 C barbecue sauce, homemade or store bought
  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 C red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 C fresh corn
  • 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • 1 C whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Ground black pepper
  • Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • In a glass measuring cup, combine warm water with yeast and sugar. Allow to proof for 5-10 minutes.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour and salt. With mixer running on low, slowly add yeast mixture. Increase speed, mixing until dough forms a ball. Add 1-2 Tbsp olive oil if additional moisture is needed. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, roughly one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Shape dough to desired size. Spread 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over surface of dough. Use remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce to coat shredded chicken in a medium bowl. Add all toppings, finishing with Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of ground black pepper and cilantro if desired.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until desired crispness is reached.
