Ingredients

• 270 g Strong White Bread Flour
• 7 g Fast Action Dried Yeast
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 160 ml Tepid Water
• 3 tbsp BBQ Sauce
• 200 g Cooked Chicken (chopped into pieces or shredded)
• 6 Streaky Bacon Rashers (cooked and chopped)
• 75 g Mozzarella (grated)
• 50 g Cheddar Cheese (grated)

Method

1. Place the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix with a spoon.
2. Pour in the olive oil and tepid water. Mix in with a spoon then use your hands to bring the dough together.
3. Knead the dough for 1 minute on a lightly floured work surface before placing it back in the bowl (covered with clingfilm or plastic wrap) to prove for 45 minutes at room temperature (you could speed up proving by putting the bowl in a warm place like an airing cupboard). Pro Tip - you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough (on a low speed setting), but I like doing it by hand!
4. Preheat the oven to 240°c (220 fan).
5. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface or cutting board to roughly 30 cm diameter and place on a pizza stone or baking tray. Leave to rest for 5 minutes whilst you get the toppings ready.
6. Spread the BBQ sauce over the base.
7. Top with the cooked chicken and bacon pieces.
8. Sprinkle with the grated cheeses.
9. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
