Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 20 min

Ingredients

• Type 00 flour – 500 g
• Lukewarm water – 325 ml
• Instant dry yeast – 3 g
• Fine sea salt – 10 g
• Olive oil – 1 tbsp
• Semolina or extra flour, for dusting – as needed
• Tomato sauce – 220 g
• Mozzarella – 150 g
• Grated cheese – 100 g
• Chicken breast – 1 large
• Mushrooms, sliced – 120 g
• Red bell pepper, diced – 1/2
• Dried oregano – 1 tsp
• Olive oil – 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the dough and let it rise until doubled. Divide it into 2 portions and let them rest while you cook the chicken.
2. Cut the chicken into small pieces and fry it in a little olive oil with salt, pepper and a pinch of oregano. Cook it just until done so it does not dry out later in the oven.
3. Heat the oven well and get the mushrooms and pepper ready. If the mushrooms are very wet, pat them dry so they do not make the pizza soggy.
4. Stretch one dough ball into a round. Spread with tomato sauce, then add the mozzarella and grated cheese. Scatter over the chicken, mushrooms and pepper.
5. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted properly. Let the pizza stand for a minute before slicing so the topping settles.
