Ingredients
  • Dough*:
  • 1⅓ cups warm water
  • 2¼ tsp instant yeast
  • 3¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • .
  • Peanut Sauce:
  • ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ Tbsp chili garlic sauce (or Sriracha)
  • ½ Tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • ½ Tbsp coconut oil, room temp
  • .
  • Toppings:
  • Spicy peanut sauce (recipe above)
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. To make dough: Preheat oven to 200°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine water and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until yeast has dissolved and mixture is frothy. Add in flour, italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and olive oil; knead on a low speed for 5-10 minutes until dough has formed. It should be elasticy and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl; cover with aluminum foil, and place bowl in the oven. TURN OVEN OFF. Let the dough rise in the warm oven for about 2 hours until it has doubled in size. Divide into two balls of dough, then use one for the remainder of this recipe. (Prepare another pizza with the second ball of dough, or store in the fridge for another night.)
  2. While dough is rising, make peanut sauce: whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. When you're ready to make the pizza, preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet/pizza stone, then roll out the dough over top. You may need to add a bit of flour to the rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking. Bake the dough in the oven for 5-8 minutes until dough is slightly cooked and puffy**.
  4. While dough is cooking, combine peanut sauce and tomato sauce in a small bowl. Toss the rotisserie chicken with ½ of the sauce; set aside.
  5. Remove dough from oven and spread the remaining sauce on top. Layer the pizza with chicken, cheese, and carrot, and bake for another 8-10 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with green onions and cilantro. Slice and serve.
Notes
*This pizza dough is my favourite recipe, and it makes enough for two 12-inch pizzas. Once the dough has risen, simply divide it in half, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.

**I prefer to bake the dough a bit before adding the toppings, but bake it all at once if you prefer! (Everyone seems to have their preference for making pizza!)
