Ingredients
FOR THE PIZZA CRUST
- 1/4 ounce instant yeast (aks “fast-rising” or “fast-acting” dry yeast)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
FOR THE TOPPINGS
- 1.5 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce or more as needed – use my homemade buffalo sauce recipe
- 1 small jalapeño pepper sliced (optional)
- 1.5 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese or use 3 ounces each of mozzarella and shredded cheddar
- 3 tablespoons Blue cheese crumbles
- Ranch dressing for serving if desired
Instructions
FOR THE PIZZA CRUST
- Add the water to a bowl and stir in the yeast until it is dissolved. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- Stir in sugar, salt and oil. Add the flour and hand mix until a dough ball forms. Knead it a couple of minutes. If it feels too sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Lightly grease a bowl, add the dough, and roll it around to grease all sides of it. Cover and let rise on your counter about 30 minutes. It should double in size.
- Roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Hand form the edges for the outer crust.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Cup of Yum
FOR THE BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA

- Evenly spread the cheeses over the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is nice and crispy.
- Cool slightly, then slice and serve with ranch dressing, if desired.
