Ingredients

  • mozzarella cheese
  • mixed-color bell peppers
  • olives
  • pizza sauce
  • chicken breast
  • mushrooms
  • 1 kilogram (7½ cups) flour
  • 2 tablespoons (40 g) sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons yeast
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (200 ml) oil
  • 1 cup (200 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (200 ml) water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • three-color bell peppers
  • fresh mushrooms
  • canned mushrooms
  • farikha flour / fine semolina

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yeast in a bowl and add the sugar, then the water. Use warm water if you want to speed up fermentation, or room-temperature water if you are not in a hurry.
  2. Add the milk and water to the bowl with the yeast and sugar, then cover the bowl and leave it for about 5 minutes until the yeast activates.
  3. Add the butter to the dough bowl, then add the flour and salt, followed by the yeast mixture, oil, and eggs. Knead the ingredients until a dough forms.
  4. Grease the bowl with oil, place the dough in it, brush the surface of the dough with a little oil, then cover and leave it for about 5 minutes to rest.
  5. Grease a baking pan or oven tray with oil, then roll out the dough to fit the tray, keeping an even thickness.
  6. Leave the dough to rest for an additional 5 minutes, then set the oven to its highest temperature with both top and bottom heat on.
  7. Cut the boiled chicken breast into small cubes and strips. Slice the mushrooms and cut the mixed-color bell peppers.
  8. Prick the dough with a fork in the tray so it does not puff up during baking.
  9. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough in the tray.
  10. Distribute the cubed chicken over the pizza sauce in the tray.
  11. Spread the mozzarella cheese over the dough in the tray, leaving about 1 centimeter around the edges without cheese.
  12. Distribute the mixed-color bell peppers over the cheese in the tray.
  13. Add the olives on top in the tray.
  14. Add the fresh mushrooms on top in the tray.
  15. Place the chicken strips on top in the tray, with a little cheese over them.
  16. Place the tray in the oven until the pizza is cooked and the cheese has melted.
