Steps
- 1Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for 15 minutes.
- 2Toss the shredded cooked chicken with half of the BBQ sauce (40g) in a bowl until evenly coated.
- 3Stretch the dough into a 12-inch round on parchment paper and spread the remaining BBQ sauce (40g) evenly over the surface, leaving a half-inch border.
- 4Scatter the mozzarella and smoked gouda over the sauce, then top with the BBQ chicken and sliced red onion.
- 5Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and lightly browned in spots.
- 6Remove from the oven and scatter fresh cilantro over the top before slicing.
Tips
- Char the red onion slices in a dry skillet for 2 minutes first if you like a smokier, softer bite.
- Swap cilantro for chopped green onion if you're not a cilantro fan.
