Step-by-Step Instructions for Buffalo Chicken Pizza
- Proof Dough: Remove your pizza dough from the fridge and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 3-4 hours at room temperature until it doubles in size, becoming fluffy and elastic.
- Preheat Oven: While your dough is rising, preheat your oven to a scorching 500-550°F and place a pizza steel or stone in the oven.
- Cook Chicken: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast strips and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Toss the chicken in ¼ cup of buffalo sauce.
- Shape Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and stretch the dough into a 12-inch round, keeping the edges slightly thicker.
- Prepare Peel: Dust a pizza peel with flour to avoid sticking for transferring the pizza.
- Assemble Pizza: Spread the remaining buffalo sauce over the dough, topping with sautéed chicken, fresh mozzarella, red onion, and jalapeños.
- Bake Pizza: Slide the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza steel and bake for 5-6 minutes, then switch to broil for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Drizzle honey over the hot pizza, allow it to cool slightly, then slice and serve with dressing on the side.
