Barbequed chicken pizza

        It was my daughter's 12th birthday last weekend and she celebrated with few of her friends from school. The girls created thier own pizzas with their favourite toppings.They were so excited and really enjoyed  doing it. This topping is my daughters own creation and it tasted really good. You can make this base at home and ask your kids to create their own pizza. They'll really love it!

Ingredients for the dough:

1 cup milk
1 tbsp butter
2 cups plus 1 cup all pupose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp rapid rise dry yeast or ative dry yeast.

Method for base:

Heat milk and butter in the microvawe until very warm. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes and stir gently with a spoon to distribute the heat evenly. It should be luke warm.

Add 2 cups flour,sugar,salt and yeast and mix it nicely. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the milk mixture and mix it well. Then add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time and knead the dough well. You should get a smooth dough. Place this in a large greased bowl and cover loosely with a plastic wrap. Let  it rise in warm place until doubled in size, one or one and a half hours. Punch down the dough to get the air bubbles out and divide it in half. Roll out to desired thickness. Top it with your favourite toppings.

Ingredients for Toppings:

2 cups precooked shredded chicken( precook it with salt and pepper)
1/2 cup sliced onions and sliced tomatoes(optional)
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
1 tsp garlic  powder
2 cups grated cheddar and mozerella mixed cheese.

First mix ketchup and bbq sauce with garlic powder. Spread this sauce evenly over the pizza base. Sprinkle the chicken evenly and finally sprinkle the cheese  over it. Preheat the oven to 410 degrees and bake it for 15 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. You can make 2 small pizza's or 1 large pizza with these ingredients.
