# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the water to 46°C. Combine warmed water with active dry yeast and granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to proof for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
02 -
In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix together the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture while mixing, followed by the olive oil. Mix until a smooth ball forms, kneading by hand if necessary. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
03 -
Slice the chicken breast in half widthwise. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken with chili powder, cayenne, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add enough chicken broth to cover the chicken fully. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, then remove and shred. Return the shredded chicken to the pan and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
04 -
Set oven temperature to 220°C.
05 -
Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Shape the dough to roughly 25 cm in diameter. Evenly spread pizza sauce over the dough. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Top with shredded chicken, then layer with mozzarella and cheddar. Distribute pickled jalapeños and finish with a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
06 -
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the crust turns golden and cheeses are bubbling.
07 -
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crisp base, preheat your baking sheet in the oven before placing the shaped dough on it.
