Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 375 grams all-purpose flour (about 3 cups)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp warm water

Pizza

  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella, grated
  • 25-30 slices pepperoni
  • 1 cup rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

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

  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly oil a 10x15 sheet pan. With oiled hands, gently stretch the dough across length and width just past the edge of the baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the pizza dough. Top with the mozzarella, pepperoni, chicken and Parmesan.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pizza, and bake another 3-5 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and sprinkle with some dried oregano.

Notes

  • Take the time to make your own dough. My go-to is this no-knead pizza dough.
  • Let the dough rest if it won't cover the whole sheet pan before stretching again to fit.
  • Don't overdo it with the sauce. Just spread lightly as it is meant to complement the pizza, not be the star.
  • Take the time to grate your own cheese. No pre-shredded cheese with this pizza.
  • If you like some heat, add the ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
