Homemade personal chicken pizza



Ingredients:

All purpose flour – ½ cup

Active yeast – 1/8 teaspoon

Salt – to taste

Sugar – 1 teaspoon

Tomato – 1 big (finely chopped)

Oil (preferably olive oil) – 4 teaspoons

Capsicum – ¼ (cut into long strips)

Onion – 1 medium (1/4th finely chopped & rest diced)

Garlic – 2 cloves (1 clove finely chopped & another finely sliced)

Black pepper powder – ½ teaspoon

Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon

Small cubed chicken pieces – ½ cup

Tomato ketchup – 1 tablespoon

Butter – 1 teaspoon

Mozzarella cheese – ½ cup (shredded or grated)


Method:

In about 2-3 tablespoons of warm water add ½ teaspoon of sugar, and active yeast and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

Marinate the chicken pieces with lemon juice, salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper powder.

In a bowl mix flour and salt. Then add yeast mixture and 1 teaspoon oil.

Knead it well to make firm smooth dough adding warm water. Make a ball of this dough.

Take 1 teaspoon oil in your palm and roll the dough on it so that the dough covered with oil.

Cover the dough with a wet cloth (wet the cloth with warm water) and let it rest for 2-3 hours (after 2-3 hours the dough will be double of its original size).

Now heat 1 teaspoon oil in a non-stick pan.

Add marinated chicken and cook for about 5 minutes. Then add cubed onion, sliced garlic and capsicum to it. Add little salt if required. Fry them together for about another 5 minutes and remove from heat. Pizza topping is ready.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a pan and add chopped garlic and chopped onion to it. Fry for bout 1 min and then add chopped tomato, salt, ½ teaspoon sugar and ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder to it.

Cook until tomato is cooked. Now add tomato ketchup and butter to it. Mix well and remove from the heat. Pizza sauce is ready.

When the dough is ready (after 2-3 hours) knead it and divide in two balls. Roll the dough balls (on a lightly floured surface) until you get a circle of ¼ inch thickness.

Spread half portion of pizza sauce on each of these pizza bases.

Then spread ¼ portion of cheese on each of them.

Now add ½ portion of pizza topping evenly on both of the base.

Spread remaining cheese evenly on both of them.

Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven at 400F for about 20 minutes (until the crust is lightly brown).

Enjoy your homemade personal chicken pizza.
