Are you a fan of California Pizza Kitchen?

I made this recipe last night. I make pizza almost every Saturday evening as we have very few good pizza places to choose from. 

I followed the recipe...mostly. I forgot to use a cast iron skillet, as I said, I make pizza most weekends, I am in the habit of using a pizza steel and forgot the skillet step. 

I followed the rest of the recipe and it was GREAT. As I said I often make pizza and was looking for something different. This was it. A far enough departure from the standard pepperoni - sausage - usual topping pizza. 

I highly recommend this recipe and will be saving it to bookmark the site so I can make this again.

If you've ever been to California Pizza Kitchen, then chances are you know the joys of a good BBQ Chicken pizza. Delish.com's easy recipe uses tangy gouda, creamy mozzarella, and a hefty dose of red onions and cilantro for freshness. We happen to think it gives good ol' CPK a run for their money.

Hate to break it to you, but not all pizzas are created equally. I would know: I tried every single pizza from California Pizza Kitchen. That's right, 20 different pies. I also did you the good service of ranking said pizzas — and you might not agree with my number one pick. Slide into my DMs and we can battle it out.

Homemade pizza dough topped with barbecue sauce, grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese and red onions. A family favorite!

Barbecue Chicken Pizza

active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

water

sugar

olive oil

salt

all-purpose flour,

cornmeal

barbecue sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray’s)

grilled chicken, chopped

mozzarella cheese, shredded

red onion

fresh cilantro or flat leaf parsley, chopped

In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix yeast and warm water together. Allow the yeast a few minutes to soften, then add sugar, olive oil, and salt. Mix on low speed with the dough hook attachment, and then gradually add flour. When a dough has formed, turn the speed up to medium and knead with the dough hook for 4-5 minutes. Add additional flour as needed as you go. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl and be slightly sticky.

Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl, and then coat the inside with a little oil. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover. Allow to rise in a warm place (I use the bread proof setting on my oven) until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Punch the dough down, and divide into two equal portions. On a well-floured surface, stretch the dough into a disk shape. If the dough has too much elasticity and bounces back, you may need to let it rest for 5-10 minutes before continuing to roll it out into the shape of your pizza. I find it easiest to just place it on the baking sheet and then press it to the edges with my fingertips. Repeat with the other half of the dough.

Place the dough on greased baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal, and then spread barbeque sauce, chicken, cheese, and red onion over the top.

Bake on top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is very bubbly and browned.

I like to transfer my pizza to a cooling rack for 5 minutes before cutting on a board so that bottom of the crust stays crisp.
