Ingredients


Directions

  • Combine flour mix and yeast packet in a large mixing bowl with 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water. Stir with a fork until dough begins to form.
  • Knead by hand for 3 minutes, or until dough is soft and smooth. Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. (After this step, you can refrigerate for use within 1-3 days.)
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • In a bowl, whisk pesto, olive oil and minced garlic to incorporate.
  • Shape pizza dough into a circle, or desired shape. Place on a greased baking sheet or pizza pan. Brush with pesto and garlic mixture. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with mozzarella, red onion and chicken. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown, and serve topped with torn basil leaves
