Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 250 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dry active yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water

Pizza

  • ½ lb chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup bbq sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's)
  • 8 oz gouda cheese, shredded
  • 2 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large peach, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Emeril's Essence seasoning
  • 3 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

Pizza Dough

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and yeast. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands. It should be sticky, but not lumpy.
  • Cover with saran wrap and a towel in a warm place, allowing it to rise for 24 hours. Transfer to a floured surface and shape into ball. Use when ready.

Pizza

  • Place pizza stone in oven 8" from the broiler element and preheat to 500°F. You want stone to be in oven for at least 30 minutes at 500°F.
  • If using chicken breasts, heat medium skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to chicken and cook on skillet for 4 minutes on each side until completely cooked through and shred. If using rotisserie chicken, just shred and set aside.
  • Sprinkle pizza peel with cornmeal or flour. Use your hands to gently tug, pull and push the dough to the shape you want and place on pizza peel.
  • Add a light layer of BBQ sauce, making sure it's evenly spread. Add the gouda cheese evenly on top of sauce. Spread the cooked chicken and sliced peaches throughout the pizza. Top with some Parmesan cheese. Season the pizza with Emeril's Essence.
  • Once stone is preheated, turn broiler to high. Transfer pizza to pizza stone and bake for 4-5 minutes or until top is bubbly and bottom is golden brown. Top with some fresh basil.

Notes

  • Use Great Dough: While you can buy some dough from the store, I recommend making this no-knead pizza dough. You just make it the night before and light it rise for 24 hours before using.
  • Spread Sauce Evenly: You will read a variety of opinions on sauce, but I'm a firm believer in lightly spreading the pizza sauce evenly. A sauce should compliment the pizza, but not be the star.
  • Use a Pizza Stone: Place the pizza stone in the oven 8″ from the broiler element. Turn the oven to 500°F. You want to place the pizza stone in a cold oven, otherwise it could crack. The pizza stone holds heat which allows you to get a golden brown crust on the bottom.
  • Broil Pizza: Leave the pizza stone in the oven once it reaches 500°F for at least 30 minutes, but preferably an hour. When you are ready to make the pizza turn the broiler on. Transfer the pizza to the stone and bake for 4-5 minutes or until the top is bubbly and the bottom is golden brown.
