Ingredients
  

Cream of Wheat Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups water 105° - 115°
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 3 packages yeast
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 cups cream of wheat
  • 1 Tablespoon salt

BBQ Chicken Pizza:

  • Cooked chicken
  • BBQ seasoning I like this one from Penzey's.
  • BBQ sauce homemade or store-bought
  • shredded gouda
  • shredded cheddar I like a cheddar and Monterey Jack blend
  • red onion sliced
  • red pepper diced
  • cooked bacon crumbled
  • cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Start with warm water. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, too cold, and it won't activate. I'm a nerd and use a thermometer.

  • Add yeast and sugar. Mix and let stand until it starts to foam. It takes about 5 minutes.

  • Knead until the dough comes together. If you press on the dough and it springs back, it is kneaded enough. It takes about 5 minutes in the mixer fitted with a dough hook.

  • Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Add the dough. Cover with plastic wrap.

  • My fool-proof way to rise dough is to put it in a large Ziploc bag. I use this one over and over again just for this task. It creates a draft-free, warm environment that dough loves. Let the dough rise until it has doubled, about an hour.

  • Preheat the oven to 450°.
