Rustic Chicken Pizza Recipe
Yield: 1 Pizza
Prep time: 20 Minutes Prep
Total time: 1.5 Minute cook time
Ingredients
Measure Ingredient
8-10 oz Pizza Dough
½ fl oz Garlic, Herb or Truffle Oil
½ ea Pear, fresh
5 ea Grapes, Red, Jumbo
4 oz wt Chicken, Grilled or Rotisserie
½ cup Cheese, Mozzarella/Parm Blend
2 Tbsp Cheese, Blue, Smoked
1 Tbsp Tomato, Sun Dried
1 Tbsp Parsley, Italian
Prep Directions
For the pizza peel we use a 70/30 blend of flour and corn meal to help keep pizza from sticking and help it slide into the Uuni Wood Oven easier. We use about ½ Tbsp per pizza, onto the pizza peel.
Pears and Grapes can be roasted on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven
Cooking Directions
- Preheat your Uuni Wood Fired Oven to slate temp of 775-900 degrees
- We recommend Apple, Maple or Cherry wood pellets for this pizza
- When oven is preheated, we recommend a trickle of pellets into the burner to keep the temp on track while building the pizza
- Building the pizza – this process should take 1-2 minutes max
- Fast building will ensure the dough doesn’t get wet (from toppings) and stick
- Allow the dough to soften at room temp for approx. 15 minutes from the fridge
- Hand stretch the dough to a very thin dough and place onto the floured pizza peel
- Drizzle the oil onto the dough and spread the edges using a spatula or spoon
- Top as follows:
- ½ of the cheese mixture
- Pears
- Grapes
- Chicken
- Other ½ of the cheese mixture
- Sun Dried tomatoes
- Smoked Blue cheese
- Open the Uuni door and load the pizza onto the middle of the pizza stone, put the door back on
- Trickle some pellets into the Uuni burner to keep the temp on track while cooking the pizza
- After 20-30 seconds, open the door and slowly put the pizza peel under the pizza
- Rotate the pizza 180 degrees and cook the other side of the pizza, approx. 30-40 seconds
- Continue to cook the pizza to your desired doneness – Process should take 60-90 seconds
- Close front door
- Open the front door and remove from the oven onto the pizza peel
- Slide onto your cutting board and cut into 4-6 slices
- Garnish with the fresh chopped parsley
