Ingredients
Dough
White Sauce
Roasted Garlic
  • 2-5 heads garlic
  • Salt
Toppings
  • 2 chicken breasts butterflied
  • Chicken seasoning or 1 tsp garlic powder, salt & pepper
  • 1 cup baby tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup olives pitted, cut in half
  • 1 medium onion chopped, sauteed
  • 5 bacon slices chopped & rendered
  • 1/2 cup Feta crumbled
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 3-4 cups shredded cheese (Mozzarella or any other you like)
Instructions
  1. To make the Dough:

  2. In the bowl of a mixer or that of the Breadmaker combine 2½ cups warm water, ½ tbsp yeast, 1 tsp salt & 1 tbsp sugar. Stir. Allow to sit undisturbed for 5-8 minutes, until slightly puffed up .

  3. Add 1 egg, 4½ cups all-purpose flour & 1 tbsp butter. If using a mixer, knead on lowest setting for 5 minutes, then increase it up to the next speed and knead for another 20 minutes. Then cover and leave undisturbed in a draft free, warm place for 1 hour to rise. If using a bread maker set the cycle to 'dough cycle'.

Roast Garlic
  1. Cut the top off the garlic heads revealing the cloves. Sprinkle with salt, wrap in foil & bake in oven @350F for 35-40 minutes. Once roasted, remove from oven, let cool, squeeze out of the skin and set aside.
Render Bacon
  1. Cut bacon lengthwise, then chop into small pieces. Render over medium heat in a skillet until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Discard fat. Wipe skillet with paper towel.
Sauté Onion
  1. Add 1-2 tablespoons oil to skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until golden in color. Remove with a slotted spoon to a separate dish. Reserve oil.
Prepare Chicken
  1. Butterfly chicken by cutting it lengthwise into two thinner pieces. Season with chicken seasoning, or garlic, salt & pepper on both sides. Brown in preheated skillet on both sides, until golden. Remove. Let cool enough to handle. Cut into slices. Set aside.
Make 'white sauce'

  1. Combine 1 pack cream cheese and 1 cup milk in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add seasoning. Stir. Set aside.

Shape and make your pizzas
  1. Once the dough cycle is complete, punch down the dough. Divide into 8-9 pieces and let rest.
  2. Turn oven to 425F. Set the rack to the lower half of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or oil.
  3. Stretch the dough into a 5-6 inch circle. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the white sauce.
  4. Place some chicken on top of the white sauce, then follow with chunks of garlic, sautéed onion, bacon bits, cheese, tomatoes, olives & spinach. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until top and bottom are golden in color. Serve right away or refrigerate and reheat in oven (at 350 for 6-7 minutes).
