Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Ingredients
1 lb. pizza dough, divided in half
cornmeal, for pan
4 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. hot sauce (such as Frank's), plus more for
drizzling (optional)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 c. shredded cooked chicken
8 oz. ball mozzarella, torn
1/3 c. blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 Red onion, thinly sliced
2 Green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 500°. Brush two large baking
sheets with vegetable oil and sprinkle each with a layer of cornmeal.
Step 2 Place butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Whisk in hot sauce and garlic powder
until combined. Pour half of the buffalo sauce over chicken and toss to
coat.
Step 3 On a lightly floured surface, shape each half of
pizza dough into a round ball, then press down the center of each to create a
1/2" crust. With the dough resting on the back of your hands and your
knuckles, gently stretch dough out with the help of gravity by moving your
hands inch by inch along the crust. Transfer to prepared baking sheets.
Step 4 Add half of the remaining buffalo sauce to each
pizza and spread all over the dough (leaving the outer 1" bare). Divide
sauced chicken, torn mozzarella, blue cheese, and red onion evenly between the
pizzas.
Step 5 Bake pizzas until crust is golden and cheese is
melty, 15 to 17 minutes. Garnish with green onions and a drizzle of hot sauce
(if using) and serve immediately.
