Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, dissolve 7 g dry yeast in 160 ml warm water and let sit 5 minutes until frothy. Combine 280 g all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt in another bowl, then add yeast mixture and 2 tbsp olive oil. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
- Step 2: Slice 150 g chicken breast into thin strips and 100 g mushrooms thinly. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips seasoned with 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, cook 5 minutes until no longer pink. Add mushrooms and sauté together for another 4 minutes until mushrooms are golden and chicken cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F). Roll out dough on a floured surface to a 32 cm circle. Spread 100 ml tomato sauce evenly, then layer cooked chicken and mushrooms evenly on top. Sprinkle 150 g shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Step 4: Bake pizza on a parchment-lined tray for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese melted. Slice and serve warm for a quick, flavorful meal.
