Equipment
Ingredients
Sauce:
- ¼ cup Frank’s RedHot hot sauce (it’s gotta be Frank’s, no substitutions!)
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
Toppings:
- 1 pizza dough (homemade or store bought, 12-inch round)
- 1 heaping cup precooked smoked chicken, shredded
- ¼ cup diced celery, (about 1 celery stalk)
- ¼ cup diced red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup diced fresh tomato (about half a roma tomato)
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Mix Sauce: Pour sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Preheat Oven: Prepare your oven or grill for making pizza. Target 500 degrees Fahrenheit and use a pizza stone. Ideally use an IR Thermometer to make sure the temperature of stone is 500 degrees. In an oven the stone should be placed on the middle rack.
- Prep Dough: Press out your dough to 11 – 12 inches using a pizza peel.
- Make and Bake: Apply half the sauce to the dough and then add the chicken. Continue to layer the pizza with the celery, onion, tomatoes, and then cheeses. Carefully slide the pizza onto the stone in the pre-heated oven. Close and cook the pizza for 5 – 6 minutes.
- Rotate: After the first 5-6 minutes the dough should be slightly browning and the edges starting to rise, rotate the pizza using a turning peel 180 degrees. This evens out the cooking since all ovens and grills have hot spots. Finish cooking an additional 5 – 6 minutes or until you see a golden crust on the edges and underneath.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the pizza with your peel and then drizzle with the ranch and remaining sauce. Slice and serve.
