- 14 cup warm water (110 F)
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast (rounded)
- 12 teaspoon honey
- 12 cup warm water
- 18 cup olive oil
- 12 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 78-2 cups flour
- cornmeal (for sprinkling on pizza stone)
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 12 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 cup prepared alfredo sauce (use a thick alfredo sauce such as No-Cream Alfredo Sauce)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 dash salt (to taste)
- 1 dash white pepper (to taste)
- 6 -8 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 34 cup thinly sliced grilled chicken (one boneless chicken breast half)
- 1 (7 1/2 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 12 cup fresh-grated parmesan cheese
Method
- Combine warm water, yeast, and honey; let sit 5 minutes to dissolve and activate yeast.
- Stir together yeast mixture, water, olive oil, salt, and 1 cup flour; gradually add remaining flour, stirring, until dough comes together; knead (a KitchenAid stand mixer works well) for 10 minutes until soft, smooth, and elastic.
- Turn dough into an oiled bowl; cover and allow to rise at room temperature for about 45 minutes or until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 450 (you may optionally preheat your pizza stone for a crispier crust) and sprinkle pizza stone lightly with cornmeal; set pizza stone aside.
- Punch down dough; turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; press dough out thinly into a circular shape; lift and transfer dough onto prepared pizza stone; press dough outward until it covers the pizza stone; using your fingers form a ridge around the outer edge.
- Parbake pizza crust for 3-4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, alfredo sauce, garlic, salt and pepper; stir to blend well.
- Remove parbaked pizza crust from oven and pat down any overly-puffed-up spots using with the palm of your hand or a clean kitchen towel; spread sauce evenly over surface of pizza crust.
- Top pizza first with spinach, then with chicken, then with artichokes and sundried tomatoes, and finally with an even sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
- Return pizza to oven and bake and additional 15-18 minutes until crust is golden-brown and cheese is melted and just beginning to brown; remove pizza from oven and let stand a couple minutes before slicing ~ Enjoy!
- NOTE: Please don't hesitate to use a Boboli or other prepared pizza crust if you're short on time!
