Instructions

1. To make crust:Preparation: Place pizza stone on lower middle rack. Preheat oven to 500° F.1. Combine and stir water and yeast in a mixing bowl until mixture resembles miso soup. Add flour and salt to mixture and mix until dough just comes together.2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until the flour is incorporated, about 5 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. The dough should be moist and slightly tacky. (If it’s sticky, add in more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth). Evenly divide dough in half and refrigerated one half for another time or double the topping recipe to make two 10 inch pizzas.3. Lightly grease a sheet of parchment paper with olive oil. Transfer ball of dough to parchment. Stretch out dough by hand as much as possible, then lightly brush with olive oil, cover with another piece of parchment. Use a rolling pin and work from the middle of the dough outward to flatten dough to ¼ inch thickness. Peel off top parchment paper.Note: Dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to three days.
2. Assembly:1. Place BBQ sauce and apricot jam in a small sauce pan over medium heat and cook and stir until combined. Set aside to cool.2. Pour and evenly spread cooled BBQ sauce over crust, leaving a ½ inch border. Top with chicken, fontina and mozzarella (red onions if using). Slide the pizza (with the parchment underneath) on to the hot pizza stone. Bake for 3-5 minutes until pizza crust starts to turn golden. Rotate the pizza once and remove parchment, continue to bake for another 3 minutes. Remove from oven. Optional: Garnish and with cilantro. Slice and serve.
