Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add bread flour, salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Punch down the dough and divide into two equal balls. Roll each into a 12-inch round.
Transfer dough rounds to parchment paper. Brush edges with olive oil.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over each crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
Top with mozzarella, diced chicken, Parmesan, red onion, and bell pepper.
Carefully slide pizzas (with parchment) onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh basil, slice, and serve hot.
