Thai BBQ Pizza

I am not a big fan of fusion food. I never thought Thai food and pizza would go together. My fiancee and I went to California Pizza Kitchen one time in Hawaii (CPK as it is called in Hawaii). Their Thai chicken pizza turned out to be quite tasty, although I didn't like the crust too much.

I used that recipe as my inspiration for this thai bbq pizza dish. I must say, it is very tasty! This recipe is for one pizza, but it can easily be doubled!

I will usually make this dish after roasting a chicken, using the leftover meat from the bird on the pizza.

Ingredients
Freshly made pizza dough (1 round)
BBQ sauce
Cooked chicken, chopped or shredded from a roasted chicken
Purple onion, cut into slivers
Red bell pepper, cut into dice
Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Spicy Peanut Sauce
Freshly cut cilantro



Sprinkle and spread corn meal on the pizza stone and distribute it evenly. Place pizza stone in oven, on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 375.

Flour your working service and roller pin. Roll out the pizza dough into a circle. Give the dough a 1/4 turn clockwise every couple of rolls, in order to get a round, even pie.

Sprinkle corn meal on your pizza peel. Gently transfer the rolled pizza dough onto the pizza peel, laying it on the roller for easy transport.

Once on the pizza peel, drizzle a layer of olive oil over the top and spread around with your hands.

Next, take the BBQ sauce and spread it around the pizza, leaves a half inch to an inch untouched (you will roll that part of the dough inward to create the crust).























Add whatever topping you want to your pizza. Put the cheese on last, as this will help seal in all the moisture.

Finally, pour a little olive oil in a cup, dip a pastry brush (I prefer one with plastic bristles) in the olive oil and paint the outer crust of the pizza with the olive oil. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the pizza too.

Place the pizza peel on the pizza stone in the oven, and angle the peel upwards so the pizza slides off the peel and gently onto the pizza stone. Do this gently, as you do not want to have the pizza dough fall off the pizza stone.

Bake for 20-30 minutes at 375, or until done.

Garnish with a dabble of the thai peanut sauce and freshly cut cilantro! Delicious!
