Ingredients

Pizza Dough

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

Pizza

  • 1 cup leftover butter chicken (recipe below)
  • ¼ cup leftover sauce from butter chicken
  • 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella, grated (2 cups)
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • fresh cilantro, 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

  • Use this slow cooker Indian butter chicken recipe and make ahead of time. Separate the chicken from the sauce.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Evenly spread the sauce over the pizza dough. Top with the cheese and then the chicken and sliced onion.
  • 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. Remove from oven and top with some chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Take the time to make your own dough. My go-to is this no-knead pizza dough.
  • If you don't want to use pizza dough, naan works too.
  • Kick up the heat by adding some cayenne pepper to the sauce.
  • Don't go overboard on the sauce. You want to just spread it lightly.
  • Use a pizza stone so you can broil the pizza and get a nice crust, but bubbly top.
