BBQ Chicken Pizza

This was THE best pizza we have ever made! And that's saying something because we make pizza a lot. 


Ingredients:
Pizza crust (recipe below)
Pineapple tidbits (fresh would be better, but ours was rotten, so we used canned)
1 green pepper, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
1/4 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 small chicken breast, cooked and cubed or shredded (I cooked the chicken in a crockpot with the BBQ sauce all day then shredded it)
BBQ sauce (we used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle BBQ)
Mozzarella and cheddar cheese

Pizza Crust: 
1 1/4 c warm water
1 T yeast
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt
3-4 c flour (half wheat, half white)
cornmeal

To make the crust, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Then add sugar and salt. Mix. Slowly add the flour and mix well. When the dough starts gathering in a ball, sprinkle surface with flour and knead flour in for about 3 minutes (or knead in standing mixer, which I am not fortunate enough to have). The dough should be soft and have a slight stick when you touch it. Shape dough into a ball.

Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza stone and roll crust out directly on the stone. Put desired amount of BBQ sauce on with chicken (leave an edge all the way around for the crust). Next, add a small layer of mozzarella cheese. Add green pepper, tomatoes, pineapple. Then cover with more mozzarella and some cheddar (desired amount. I have no idea how much we used. Just till it looked covered, but not too cheesy). Put crumbled bacon on top. 

Cook on 425 for about 25 min, until the crust edges are golden brown. Let it cool, then cut and eat! Yum!
