BBQ Thai Chicken Pizza

Start with the...

Pizza Dough

(adapted from the Smitten Kitchen)

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 TBSP olive oil

1 tsp brown sugar

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 pkg active dry yeast

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp salt

1. Put your warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set in a warm place and cover with a towel for 5 minutes. Stir to dissolve yeast.

2. Stir together the wheat flour, brown sugar and oil. Add yeast and water.

3. Add the flour and salt.

4. Knead 5 minutes IN THE BOWL (why mess up your counter?), adding a bit of flour here and there to keep it from sticking to your hands or the bowl. Then lift up the dough and dribble a generous dash of olive oil into the bowl, using the dough to spread it. Turn over the dough so it is now coated with olive oil too. Cover the whole shebang with a towel and place in a warm kitchen corner for 1 1/2 hours.
