Buffalo Chicken Pizza

This pizza satisfies both cravings—salty and spicy. We love buffalo chicken wings and bites. And I believe I saw a flyer of a local pizzeria selling Buffalo chicken pizza. I thought that’s a great idea. A full meal in its own. I added the usual carrots and celery that accompany the Buffalo chicken wings to the pizza sauce. I steered clear from the ‘stinky’ blue cheese though. I don’t mind that cheese but my two babies don’t like it at all! And both of them have very strong smell and taste senses! I was tempted to add a tablespoon or so with shredded mozzarella but at the end, I overcame that temptation. Didn’t want to ruin the dinner. Anyways, the pizza came out perfect, ooey gooey cheesy salty and spicy! Make it tonight and see how family reacts to this yummy pizza.

Iingredients

For Basic Pizza Dough
1 pkg. dry yeast
3/4 c. warm water
1/4 tsp. salt
1 T. oil
1 tsp. sugar
3 c. flour

How to:

Mix ingredients together, adding flour last. Cover and let rise 1 hr.

For sauce and toppings:

1 cup crushed tomatoes
1 small carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 small onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, grated
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp dry oregano

How to:

Cook onion and garlic till translucent.
Add carrots and celery and cook till they are soft.
Now add dry oregano and simmer the sauce on low heat for about 20 minutes.
Pre heat the oven to 450° F.
Roll the pizza dough to fit in 12 inch pizza dish.
Smear the dough with prepared tomato sauce.(I don’t use the salt in tomato sauce as cheeses are salty)
Now sprinkle cheeses.
Time for shredded or sliced chicken to go on top of cheese and then green pepper if using.
Bake in hot oven till cheeses melt and crust is baked to nice golden brown color.
Before serving, drizzle the hot wing sauce all over the pizza.
Enjoy.
