GARLIC WHITE PIZZA W/ CHICKEN AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• 1. For the crust: In a bowl, measure 2 cups warm water ( not hot) 110 - 115 F. Dissolve the yeast in water and add the sugar. Set aside. I use my kitchenaid mixer with dough hook. If you don't have, mix in a large bowl by hand. Put the flour, oil and salt in the bowl, attach dough hook, blend the flour, salt and oil; add the yeast water, mix until forms a ball.
• 2. Knead until smooth and elastic, add more flour if dough is sticky , this should not be dry but firm until a ball forms. Let rise in a large bowl covered with a wet towel.. until doubled in size in warm spot.. away from draft.
• 3. In a skillet, saute seasoned chicken in olive oil till cooked through. Set aside.
• 4. Mix ricotta with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, tablespoon parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• 5. Mince the garlic, add to the butter and oil. Microwave for about a minute; just until butter is melted and garlic starts releasing flavor. Set aside.
• 6. When the dough has risen. Cut in half unless halving the recipe. I make the full recipe and make 2 pizza's. Grease round pizza pan or jelly roll pan. I used both, and I add corn meal for added crunchiness. Up to you.
• 7. Spread out dough with oiled fingers. With a pastry brush; evenly spread garlic butter over the crust. Next season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, basil, red pepper flakes ( optional)
• 8. Next parmesan cheese. Then dollops of ricotta mixture if using ( it really is good). Then layer chicken evenly. Next the mozzarella. Vegetables and more seasonings if desired. **** This picture is with chicken and cheeses and onion only.
• 9. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until desired crispness. This picture was cheeses, onion, red bell pepper, chicken and mushrooms. Yum!
• 10. This pizza is wonderful without the chicken and veggies. I hope you try it, it really is a delicious change from traditional pizza.
• 11. Remember: Fresh dough is always best.

ROASTED GARLIC, CHICKEN AND SPINACH WHITE PIZZA

Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
