Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough
   Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone if available. Lightly dust your work surface with cornmeal. Stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 14-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
2. Create the base
   Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes until just beginning to set but not yet browned.
3. Prepare the buffalo chicken
   In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until well coated. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and quickly sauté the chicken mixture for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
4. Assemble the pizza
   Spread half of the mozzarella cheese over the par-baked crust. Distribute the buffalo chicken evenly across the pizza, then top with remaining mozzarella and crumbled blue cheese. Scatter the sliced red onion and celery over the cheese.
5. Bake to perfection
   Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned in spots.
6. Finish and serve
   Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing and additional buffalo sauce if desired. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro. Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving hot.
