Chicken Alfredo Pizza - Spencer, Claire & Miranda




Ingredients:
Pizza Dough:
½ c. warm water
1 t. sugar
3 t. yeast
2 T canola oil
1 dash salt
¾ c. flour
½ c. whole wheat flour
2 T. ground flax seeds

Alfredo Sauce:
3 T margaine
3 T. flour
1 t. crushed garlic
¾ c. milk
1 dash cayenne pepper
½ t. cumin
1 t. onion powder
½ t. pepper
1 dash salt

Pizza Toppings:
1 cup cooked chicken
4 diced mushrooms
1 diced sweet onion
¼ diced green peppers
¼ diced red peppers
½ c. diced pineapple (optional)
1 c. grated mozzarella cheese
1 c. grated cheddar cheese

Directions:
1.     Preheat oven to 425º
2.      Pizza Dough First Step: Dissolve sugar in warm water and sprinkle yeast over top; set aside for 10 minutes.
3.     Alfredo Sauce: Melt margarine in a saucepan and add crushed garlic. Stir in milk, starting with a little to make certain there are no lumps, and then add the remainder. Stir until it begins to thicken and then add the cayenne pepper, cumin, onion powder and salt and pepper. Remove from heat; set aside.
4.     Pizza Dough Second Step: Stir in salt and oil to yeast mixture. Stir in ¾ cup flour, and then stir in ½ cup of whole wheat flour and ground flax seed and work into a ball. If the dough feels sticky, add a small amount of white flour; set aside.
5.     Toppings Step One: Saute vegetables and diced cooked chicken in 1 t. canola oil.
6.     Pizza Dough Third Step: Spray with cooking spray and coat with 1-2 t. oil. With palm of hand, work pizza dough to cover pizza pan and about ½ inch beyond the pan.
7.     Toppings Step Two: Pour thicken sauce over dough, then sautéed vegetables and chicken. Add pineapple. Turn the outer edge of the pizza dough over the toppings )about ½ to 1 inch over). This will prevent the sauce from spilling into the oven and also will give the dough a stuffed effect. Mix the grated cheeses and put on top.
8.     Put in oven and immediately turn down the temperature to 400º.
9.     Bake for 15 minutes, and then if you are able, remove pizza from pan and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Remove pizza from oven and let stand for 5 minute
