🍕 How to Make Black Pepper Chicken Pizza
Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix and knead for 8–10 minutes into a soft, elastic dough.
-
Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
-
Heat oil in a pan and add garlic paste. Sauté for 30 seconds.
-
Add chicken pieces, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and crushed black pepper.
-
Cook on medium heat until chicken is tender and fully cooked (around 8–10 minutes).
-
Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
-
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
-
Roll out the dough into a pizza base on a floured surface.
-
Transfer to a greased baking tray or pizza stone.
-
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the base.
-
Add cooked chicken, onion, and bell pepper slices.
-
Sprinkle cheese generously on top.

Add chili flakes and a pinch of crushed black pepper.
Step 4: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
-
Remove, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, slice, and serve hot!
👩🍳 Tips for the Best Pizza
-
Always use freshly crushed black pepper – it gives the pizza a stronger, more aromatic flavor.
-
Don’t overload the base with too many toppings; it can make the crust soggy.
-
For extra smokiness, lightly grill the chicken pieces before adding.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of garlic dip, spicy mayo, or a simple green salad to balance out the spice.
