Ingredients

  • 500 g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 340 ml (1⅓ cups) warm water
  • 27 g (0.9 oz) compressed yeast
  • 10 g (2 tsp) sugar
  • 8 g (1.5 tsp) salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 250 g (9 oz) chicken fillet (thigh)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 6-7 large mushrooms, sliced
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream (at least 20%)
  • 1 tbsp optional parsley herbs
  • 30 g (1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 200 g (7 oz) Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a bowl, dissolve the compressed yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
  2. Mix the Dough: Add a few tablespoons of flour to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the yeast to develop flavor.
  3. Form the Dough: Stir in the salt, then gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a dough forms. If your flour is a bit dry, add a little extra water as needed.
  4. Knead the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes, adding vegetable oil to keep it from sticking to your hands.
  5. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Prepare the Filling: While the dough rises, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken fillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan, let it cool slightly, and then slice or shred it.
  7. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  8. Combine the Filling: Return the chicken to the pan, add the cream, Parmesan, and parsley herbs. Stir everything together and let it cook for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.
  9. Shape the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F). On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin circle that fits your baking sheet. Transfer it to the baking sheet.
  10. Add the Toppings: Spread the chicken and mushroom filling over the rolled-out dough evenly. Top generously with shredded Mozzarella cheese.
  11. Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  12. Serve: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes. Slice it and serve hot, enjoying every delicious bite!

Recipe Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust, consider pre-baking the pizza base for about 4-5 minutes before adding the toppings.
  • Experiment with different herbs or add bell peppers and spinach to the filling for additional flavors and nutrients.
