homemade bbq chicken pizza

Ever since I have started making things from scratch, my family won’t allow me to buy any of the store bought things if I can make them. No pressure or anything. 😅 I’ve got to agree though because homemade recipes are the best! Today I’ll show you how to make homemade pizza dough and from scratch BBQ sauce.

I did get this recipe from the Magnolia Table recipe book but I have changed some ingredients/measurements according to my liking. Because we don’t do any kind of vinegar over here LOL.

I’ve posted a reel on my Instagram showing all the steps if you’d like to follow along so I don’t bore you with a million individual pictures in this post.

Ingredients:

CLICK HERE FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE the only thing I changed is that I use 1/4 cup olive oil instead of 1/2 cup.

For the sauce:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 5 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tbsp stone ground mustard
  • 1 tsp worcestershire
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

For the toppings:

  • cooked shredded chicken or cut into thin strips
  • shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • caramelized onions

Make It:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients for the sauce and bring to boil over medium heat, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and cool for about 20-25 minutes.
  3. You can take this time to cook your chicken and make some caramelized onions.
  4. Once your dough has risen, punch the dough to release all the gases and bubbles. This is my favorite part LOL.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and roll out, or shape into, about a 14 inch round on a pizza stone.
  6. Spread on as much bbq sauce as you prefer, leaving about a 1/2 inch border.
  7. Top with chicken and shredded cheese.
  8. Bake for 20 mins or until crust is lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove pizza from the oven and top with caramelized onions and a little bit more cheese. Pop back into the oven for about 5 mins.
  10. Remove pizza from the oven, let cool for about 5 mins then cut into slices and enjoy!
