Barbeque Chipotle Chicken Pizza

Since I don't like my food really spicy, a can of chipotle chili peppers lasts me a while. That's why I've been posting chipotle recipes all week! Chipotle's have a smoky spicy flavor that enhances many dishes. Here I added chipotles to barbeque chicken pizza and used pepper jack cheese for an extra kick.

Basic Pizza Dough

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup corn meal


1. Mix yeast, water, and sugar together. Let stand about 10 minutes, until mixture has bubbles.
2. In a food processor fitted with a dough hook, mix yeast mixture with all other ingredients until just combined.
3. Put dough in a bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise until dough doubles in size, about 30 minutes.
4. Sprinkle corn meal on surface. Roll out dough until desired shape.
