Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup Sunny Barbecue sauce
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Preparation
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Mix until a dough forms. Turn it onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce until well coated.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal parts if you want to make two pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
- Place the rolled-out dough on a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.
- Spread a thin layer of the remaining BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Evenly distribute the BBQ chicken over the sauce.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the chicken.
- Add the thinly sliced red onions on top.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the hot pizza stone.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired. Slice and serve hot.
