PDFThe variety of pizzas you could make are endless. We make somewhat healthier ones such as this veggie pizza which has fresh tomato slices, olives, and mushrooms.
Or, simply top your pizza crust with sauteed mushrooms and onions, then add some cooked sliced Italian sausage.
But one of the most delicious ones we have made is Buffalo Chicken Pizza, a tasty mixture of chicken, wing sauce, blue cheese dressing and cheeses.
To make a mouth watering Buffalo Chicken Pizza, you need these things:
pizza crust dough (we buy from Trader Joe's, but any will do)
1/2 c blue cheese dressing (chunkier is better)
1/2 c hot sauce (recommend Frank's Wing Sauce Original)
1/4 c butter, melted
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut up
2 c shredded cheese blend (cheddar and Monterey Jack)
extra blue cheese dressing for dipping
Suggested directions:
1. Roll out dough and turn over 1 inch around edge. Place crust on round pan; I use a round baking stone for a crispy crust. Bake the crust for 5-7 minutes at 375.
2. Spread blue cheese dressing on pizza dough.
3. Mix wing sauce and melted butter together. Add chicken and mix to coat.
4. Spread chicken mixture onto pizza crust. Top with cheese.
5. Bake pizza for about 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
The children help with this, not only because they love to help cook, but because they want to enjoy their own concoctions. Seth helped make pizza for the first time.
First he prepared the surface for the dough.
Rolling the dough is tough work.
It requires concentration.
Don't forget to poke holes in your dough or it will become a huge piece of pita bread.
Seth likes his pizza with lots of cheese . . .
And pepperoni.
Pizza is a great treat, especially for the little ones. And getting to add their own toppings makes it all the better to enjoy!
Your pizza crust looks wonderful. I always have the hardest time with mine "bouncing back" when I am trying to roll it out. What is your secret?
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't really have a secret. As I roll, I also stretch with my hands. I've tried flipping it around but don't do to well with that. Once it is stretched farther than the size I want, I just turn over the edges for a thick edge. It works well.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so good Sheila! I would love to try the Buffalo Chicken version ~ I've never tried that as a pizza topping, but it's a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you are blessed with! :)
xo~m.
Thank you for stopping by Mari!
ReplyDeleteAs I said, the Buffalo chicken Pizza is probably our favorite. I have so many buffalo wing lovers in my family. This is a bit healthier (I think) since we use sauteed or roasted chicken, not deep fried, and no skin:)
One thing you forgot to do last time though was to out a pan in the bottom and fill it with water for steaming the crusts. The buffalo one tasted better than usual though and now i want it so so badly. Can we do this on on friday?
