CRUST:
Mix 1 packet yeast, 3/4 cup warm water, and a pinch of sugar. Stir till dissolved and let sit until a little bit foamy. Add 2 TBS honey and 2 TBS olive oil. Mix in 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1/2 tsp of salt. Throw it all into your amazing Kitchenaid mixer and let it do it's magic or knead it by hand until it forms a nice dough. Coat it with a little oil, cover the bowl with saran wrap and let it sit about 2 hours.
BBQ SAUCE: (Cutting this in half allowed for enough for one pizza)
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and let come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for about an hour, stirring occasionally. The mixture will thicken and reduce a bit.
Next, I cut up 3/4 of a red onion and caramelized it.
The chicken should be cooked ahead of time and shredded. (I hope you don't hate shredding chicken as much as I do!)
To assemble the pizza:
Spread the dough onto a greased baking sheet. Brush with olive oil (about 3 TBS) and a little minced garlic (about 1 tsp). Spread on about 2 ounces of tomato sauce.
Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Next, put on the chicken and onions- as much as you like. Spread the top with the BBQ sauce.
Cover the whole thing with 1-1.5 cup grated colby jack cheese.
Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes. Hope you love it as much as we did!
