The Recipe You've All Been Waiting For..... BBQ Chicken Pizza

OK, probably not ALL of you have been waiting for but I know Mark has. So here you go Mark.

The Sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 TBSP garlic powder
1 tsp of each: Oregano
Parsley
Basil
Italian Seasoning
Onion powder
1/2 tsp of both salt and pepper
1/4 cup of Parmesan
1 TBSP sugar
(you can add ground beef and use this same sauce for spaghetti and it's very good as well)



The Crust
(feel free to use any crust recipe, this is just the one I use)
2 3/4 - 3 1/4 cups- Flour
1 pkg- Dry active yeast
2 tsp- Sugar
1 tsp- Salt
1 cup- Warm water
2 TBSP- Cooking or olive oil

**In a large mixing bowl combine 1 1/4 cup of the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm water, and oil. Beat on low for 30 seconds scraping bowl. Beat on high for 3 minutes with spoon stir in as much of remaining flour possible, knead until flour is just barely not sticky, and elastic. Divide dough in half, cover and let rise for 10 min.

The Pizza
Chop: 1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 yellow or orange bell peppers

*I really like the bell peppers so I usually do half of all four. They're just good.

**Cover baking stone with cornmeal. Spread a light layer of pizza sauce on crust. Add some mozzarella. Add shredded BBQ chicken. Cover with peppers and add more cheese.
(Optional: you can also add some crushed red pepper flakes if you want it to be a little spicy)

Bake @ 400 for 15-20 min or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.

It's tasty and you'll love it!!
