🍳 How to cook (4 servings):

Cooking Time: 10-15 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Preparing the Base

Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. For a crispier crust, roll it thinner. Place the rolled dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Adding the Sauce

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza base. Be careful not to overload it to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.

Topping It Up

Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce. Then, add your toppings: cooked chicken cut into small pieces, sliced red bell peppers, pickles, and tomato slices. Distribute them evenly across the pizza.

Baking the Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Serving

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the cheese to set and makes it easier to cut. Serve warm.
