Notes:
- For the Pepper BBQ Chicken:
- Marinate 100gms of boneless chicken with 1/2 tsp pepper powder, 1 tbsp bbq sauce, 1 tsp vinegar and salt to taste for a few minutes.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan.
- Add the chicken and fry till tender.
- For the pizza dough/crust:
- When making a thick crust pizza, it's important to let the dough rise for at least 10-15 mins once you have placed it on your pizza pan. If you fail to do this, you will end up with a thick, chewy crust.
- The difference between thin and thick crust is the quantity of dough used. For a thick crust you would use 25% more dough. So if you prefer a thin crust pizza just roll out the dough thinner, add the toppings and bake immediately.
- For this recipe I have used 500 gms of dough to make two large pizzas ( 8 slices each). I have shared the link to my pizza dough recipe in the NOTES.
