Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. yeast
- 3.5 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- Cornmeal for dusting
- Olive oil (for brushing on the crust)
For the Alfredo Sauce
- 0.25 cups butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp. flour (if needed)
For the Toppings
- 1.5 cups chicken (cooked and shredded)
- 4 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)
- 0.5 red onion (sliced)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray or dust with cornmeal. Set it aside.
- To make the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined and let it thicken slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese until melted.
- To make the dough: In a large bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add flour and salt. Mix until the dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour.
- Roll the dough out and place it on the prepared pizza pan. Brush olive oil on the crust.
Assembly
- Spread the prepared Alfredo sauce over the dough. Top it with shredded chicken, chopped bacon, sliced red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
Baking
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
For a crispier crust, allow the dough to rise for about 30 minutes before rolling it out. If you like a bit of spice, consider adding red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce. You can use grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quicker option. Feel free to customize the toppings on your Chicken Alfredo Pizza. You can add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers. For a different flavor, consider using barbecue sauce instead of Alfredo.
