Quick and delicious homemade pizza with chicken, fire-roasted tomatoes, and Mexican cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons regular active dry yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse (kosher or sea) salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • Additional cornmeal
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted diced tomatoes or plain diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1/2 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (4 medium)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine 3/4 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a medium bowl. Add warm water and oil, then mix with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds and on high speed for 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal and the remaining 3/4 cup flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic for about 5 minutes. Cover the dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare a large cookie sheet by spraying it with cooking spray and sprinkling with extra cornmeal. Press the dough onto the sheet to form a 14x10-inch rectangle; then, use a fork to prick the dough. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges start to become golden brown.
  • Cover generously with half of the cheese blend. Arrange the chicken, tomatoes, and bell pepper on top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese blend over the ingredients. Bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown. Finish by garnishing with onions and cilantro before serving.
