Ingredients

  • 1 recipe pizza dough *see notes
  • Semolina flour
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup chopped or shredded cooked chicken rotisserie works well
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Optional: 1/4 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Prepare the pizza dough according to instructions. After the first rise, divide into 2 balls.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (see note). Sprinkle semolina flour on top.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into approximately 7x10-inch rounds. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Bake 8-12 minutes until golden and cooked through. Lower the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Brush the top of each flatbread with barbecue sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch space around the edges. Top evenly with the mozzarella, followed by the chicken, onion, and bell pepper if using. Drizzle with a bit of extra sauce (about 1-2 tablespoons per flatbread).
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the toppings are warmed through.

Notes

  • If you'd like thinner, crispier flatbreads, the yeast in the pizza dough can be reduced by half and/or the rising time reduced to 30 mins.
  • If both flatbreads won’t fit on one baking sheet, they can be cooked in batches.
Make ahead
The flatbread can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen and then thawed before baking the flatbreads.
