All Purpose Miracle Dough + Aunt Tricia's BBQ Chicken Pizza

Hands down, Michael's favorite dish is BBQ Chicken Pizza. He always used to request Poppy Seed Chicken (a Kansas favorite I will share during Stone Soup Week) for his birthday dinner, but one taste of BBQ Chicken Pizza and he was hooked.

This is Tricia's actual pizza we ate over New Year's weekend.

A disclaimer: my sister Tricia is the queen of BBQ Chicken Pizza. I no sooner taught her the secrets of my All-Purpose Miracle Dough that she promptly perfected it and used it to create this coveted dish. Hers is the standard by which mine is judged, and sadly, the last time I made it, it was only "almost" as good as Aunt Tricia's. One warning: I have a difficult time quantifying the ingredients of both these dishes, because I am not good at following recipes, so tryer beware.

All Purpose Miracle Dough

1 cup warm water
2 1/2 teaspoons or 1 pkg dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
4-5 cups flour (combination of whole wheat and unbleached if you wish)

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt, honey and olive oil. Stir with a wire whisk or fork. Stir in flour, one cup at a time. Dough should be a tiny bit sticky but not stick to your fingers. Knead well for 3-4 minutes. (Very therapeutic, kneading dough.) Place in greased bowl and cover in warm place with a towel. Let rise for 20-30 minutes, then shape into rolls, pizza dough or what have you. (I think the world would be a better place if we were all allowed to be covered in a warm place and left quietly alone for 20-30 minutes every day.)

I have used this for everything from pizza to bread bowls to cinnamon rolls.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

BBQ sauce-Sweet Baby Ray's ONLY
Chopped cooked chicken-white meat
Swiss, Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, whatever's in the fridge
Miracle dough

After dough rises, use a rolling pin to spread out a nice thin layer on a baking stone. (Pampered Chef stone is the best, of course.) Bake crust for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.

FLIP CRUST OVER.

Spread sauce out over crust. Add chicken and cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees another 15 minutes or so, until cheese is bubbly and it looks done.

Tomorrow's recipe is Mexican Tacos! My FAVORITE.
