Ingredients:


DOUGH

1/4 cup warm water (105-115'f)
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
2 tsp sugar
2 cup flour
1/4 cup semolina flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup warm water

TOPPING

4 oz chicken breast, boneless/ skinless
1 tbsp jerk seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup asiago cheese, grated
1/4 cup mozzarella, shredded
1/4 cup smoked mozzarella, grated

MANGO SALSA

1/2 mango, ripe, diced
2 tbsp red onion, diced
1 tbsp tomato, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp chopped fresh mint, basil, or cilan, tro, or mixture

Instructions:

Prepare Dough: In a small bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar and
stir well to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes. In a large mixing
bowl, combine flour, semolina flour and salt. Add olive oil to the
yeast mixture. Stir well and add to flour. Add additional 1/2 cup
warm water. Bring the mass of dough together until a compact ball is
formed. Turn dough out onto work surface and knead vigorously for 7
minutes until smoth and satiny. Place a small amount of olive oil in
a large bowl. Put dough in the bowl and turn it twice to coat. Cover
bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Set the bowl in a warm
place. Allow dough to double in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down dough
and let stand for 20-30 minutes at room temperature before using.
Roll dough into a circle about 10 inches in diameter, building up the
edges slightly. Place dough on a pizza pan or baking sheet.

Prepare Toppings: Coat chicken with jerk seasoning. Heat olive oil in
a saute pan and when hot, sear chicken on both sides. Remove chicken
from pan, add mushrooms to pan and saute them for about 1 minute.
Drain liquid from pan. Slice chicken into thin strips.

Prepare Salsa: In a small mixing bowl, combine and mix thoroughly all
salsa ingredients.

To Assemble Pizza: Spoon barbecue sauce onto dough. Top with
mushrooms and chicken strips. Sprinkle cheeses on top. Bake pizza in
a preheated 450'F oven for 7-8 minutes until crust is browned and
cheese is golden and bubbly. Garnish pizza with mango salsa as soon
as pizza is removed from oven.

“Do not be afraid of simplicity. If you have a cold chicken for supper, why cover it with a tasteless white sauce which makes it look like a pretentious dish on the buffet table at some fance dress ball?”
" Marcel Boulestin (1878-1943)"
