Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp active dry yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 3/4 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil, stirring until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Step 2: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and, if available, place a pizza stone inside to heat.
  4. Step 4: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then scatter 1 cup cooked shredded chicken, 1/3 cup chopped sundried tomatoes, and 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves over the pizza.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
