Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 1 cup sweet barbecue sauce

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy and perfectly cooked pizza crust.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness. Carefully transfer it onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet, ready for toppings.
  3. Add Sauce: Evenly spread 1 cup of sweet barbecue sauce across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Layer Cheese: Generously sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce layer to create a rich, melty cheese base.
  5. Add Toppings: Distribute the sliced jalapeños, thinly sliced red onions, and shredded cooked chicken (if using) evenly on top of the cheese layer for a balanced flavor profile.
  6. Season and Oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the assembled pizza topping and season with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the overall flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  8. Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
  9. Serve: Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use pickled jalapeños for a tangier spice or fresh jalapeños for a brighter heat.
  • Shredded cooked chicken is optional; it can be omitted for a vegetarian pizza.
  • Preheating the oven is essential to achieve a crispy crust.
  • Consider using a pizza stone for an even crisper base.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeños according to your preferred spice level.
