- 400g Plain flour
- 225ml Water
- 7g Yeast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
Pizza Sauce
- 200g Chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato puree
- 2 tbsp Hot salsa
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Oregano
Pulled Chicken
- 1 Chicken breast
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Cumin
Ingredients
- 215g Mozzarella ball (cut into large slices)
- 100g Red leister cheese (grated) you can use any orange cheese you like
- 1/2 Small red onion (diced)
- 1/4 Red pepper (diced)
- 40g Sweetcorn
- 30g Pickled jalapenos (diced)
- 20g Tortilla chips (crushed)
Instructions
- Heat oven to gas mark 9/245℃/475℉ and place two pizza trays on the top two shelves.
- Put the chicken breast in a small pan and add cold water until just covered. Heat on low until the water is at simmering point and then cook for a further 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, add the flour, water, yeast, olive oil, caster sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and use a wooden spoon to mix until it forms a firm dough.
- Sprinkle flour on a bench and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Place under the mixing bowl and leave.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, hot salsa, garlic, oregano and salt and pepper to taste into a blender and blend for a few seconds until smooth. Add to a small bowl and set aside.
- Cut the dough in half and lightly flour a rolling pin and bench. Roll out the dough, turning and flipping frequently to make sure it doesn't stick and form a circle around the same size as your pizza tray. Take the pizza tray out of the oven and put grease proof paper on top of the tray. Slide your pizza dough onto the pizza tray and repeat for the other pizza base.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place in a bowl. Shred the chicken using two forks and add the lime juice, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all the chicken is coated evenly.
- Spread the pizza sauce onto the pizza dough and top with mozzarella. Then add the pulled chicken, red onion, red pepper, sweetcorn and jalapenos. Top with grated cheese and cook in the oven for 15-18 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips on top of the pizzas and serve.
