Ingredients

  • ✔1 ball pizza dough (about 250 g / 9 oz)
  • ✔80 ml (⅓ cup) barbecue sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • ✔150 g (5 oz) cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • ✔120 g (4 oz) mozzarella, shredded
  • ✔60 g (2 oz) smoked gouda or cheddar, shredded
  • ✔½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ✔2 tbsp fresh cilantro (coriander), chopped

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 °C (480 °F) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread the barbecue sauce over the base as the "sauce", leaving a small border.
  4. Scatter both cheeses evenly, then top with the shredded chicken and red onion slices.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  6. Finish with a drizzle of extra barbecue sauce and a scattering of fresh cilantro before serving.
