40 20 60

Ingredients

CRUST:
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons quick-rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
GARLIC SAUCE/TOPPINGS:
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup julienned sweet red pepper
2 cups (12 ounces) shredded pizza cheese blend

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the buttermilk, oil, butter, honey and vinegar to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg yolk and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Press dough into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Prick with a fork. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, saute garlic in oil. Add the cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with chicken, red pepper and cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Yield: 8-10 servings.
