Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Instant yeast (heaped)
- 2 tbsp Oil
- ~¾ cup Warm water
For the chicken fajita:
- 1 cup Boneless chicken (strips)
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- ½ tsp Cumin powder
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- Salt (to taste)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Veggies:
- ½ Onion (sliced)
- ½ Green bell pepper
- ½ Red/yellow bell pepper
For Pizza assembly:
- Pizza sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- Cooked chicken fajita mix
- Veggies
- Olives, jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, yeast, oil, and warm water. Knead until you get a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in size (or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavour).
- Heat oil in a pan. Add chicken strips along with paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred. Set aside.
- Lightly sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for a few minutes. Keep them slightly crunchy for the best texture.
- Gently stretch the dough using your hands without pressing out the air. Avoid using a rolling pin to keep the crust light and airy.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the base, including a light layer on the edges for a flavorful crust. Add mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked chicken fajita mix, sautéed vegetables, and optional toppings like olives or jalapeños.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 250°C (480°F) for 7–8 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Sprinkle dried or fresh herbs immediately after baking. Slice and serve hot.
