Step by step

Method

6 steps

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 500°F with a pizza stone or upside-down sheet pan inside. Let 1 pound pizza dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toss 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken with ¼ cup barbecue sauce. Stretch the dough on parchment into a 12-inch round, leaving the rim a little thicker.

  3. 3

    Spread ⅓ cup barbecue sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Scatter on the chicken, 1½ cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella, ¼ thinly sliced red onion, and a little cilantro if you like.

  4. 4

    Slide the pizza and parchment onto the hot surface. Bake 9–13 minutes, until the crust is browned underneath, the cheese is bubbling, and the rim sounds hollow when tapped.

  5. 5

    Cool the pizza for 3 minutes so the cheese sets enough to slice. Add a thin drizzle of barbecue sauce and cut into wedges.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat on a hot sheet pan at 425°F for 6–8 minutes so the bottom firms up.
