Serving Size: 1 Large Pizza

Buffalo Chicken Ingredients

• 1-2 Skinless Chicken Breasts

• 1/4 Cup Franks Hot Sauce

• 1 Cup Kraft Ranchers Choice Dressing

• Salt & Pepper to taste

• Garlic Powder to taste

Pizza Ingredients

• 1 Cup Shredded Mozza or Havarti

• 1/2 Cup Ranch

• 1/4 Cup Corn Meal

• 1/4 Red Onion, chopped

• 1/4 Red Pepper, chopped

• 1/4 Cup Green Onion

• 1 Jalapeno sliced

• Pepper to taste

Pizza Dough Ingredients

• 250g Double (00) Zero Pizza Dough

• 200ml Room Temperature Water

• 7.5g Coarse Salt

• 3g Yeast

Pizza Dough Directions

• Add yeast to room temperature water and let bloom (may need to add 1 tsp of Sugar if you are unsure if the yeast is active).

• Combine flour, salt and yeasty water together in stand mixer.

• As soon as the dough is all incorporated, stop the stand mixer and let it rest for 30 minutes. Turn stand mixer back on for 7-10 minutes.

• With no flour on the counter, form dough into a perfect ball ensuring the pinch at the bottom is rolled out. Put ball and cover in fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to use the dough portion out as desired and let the doughballs sit under damp towel at room temp for 30 minutes. Ratio to follow is 100% flour to 3% salt to 1% yeast. No sugar added unless you want quick/warm fermentation or you need to check if yeast is still good. You will need a little flour when you are ready to form the dough.

Buffalo Chicken Directions

• Pull out the trusty crock pot. If you plan on letting the chicken cook all day, then set it to low for 7 hours, if you didn’t plan ahead enough then set it to high for 3 hours. Add the full chicken breasts (I usually put a couple slits in the chicken breast to help it cook and allows for the sauces to settle in) then season with salt, pepper & garlic powder.

• Add about 1/2 of the Franks Hot Sauce & 1/2 of the ranch dressing. Cover and let cook.

• Once you’ve verified the chicken is cooked fully through to 165F degrees then grab 2 forks and shred the chicken breasts unto tiny pieces right in the crock pot. This takes a little bit of time and your arms/wrists are definitely going to feel it. After all the chicken has been shredded, add the remaining hot sauce and ranch dressing, mix it all up, cover and let simmer for at least 20 more minutes. Set aside until needed.

Pizza Directions

• Pre-heat the oven to 410F degrees. Form the dough into the shape and size you want.

• Sprinkle the corn meal on a large baking sheet then lay the dough on top.

• Top the dough with buffalo chicken, red onion and red pepper evenly.

• Cover liberally with cheese. Sprinkle with green onion and pepper.

• Bake for 10 minutes, then broil on low for 10 minutes or until cheese browns slightly. Drizzle with additional ranch/hot sauce if desired, cut and serve.
