Pizza with pineapple and chicken breast
Start by preparing the pizza dough, an essential step that will make the difference between an ordinary meal and an extraordinary one. In a small bowl, mash the fresh yeast together with the sugar. This mixture will activate the yeast, and after about 10 minutes, you will notice a fluffy foam forming on the surface, a sign that it is ready to work its magic.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, making sure it is aerated, and then add the other ingredients one by one. Start with the salt, which will give flavor to the dough, continue with the egg, which will provide a rich consistency, and add the oil for an extra flavor boost. Dried oregano will add a Mediterranean aroma, while milk and sparkling water will make the dough soft and fluffy.
After adding the risen yeast, start kneading the dough. You will need to invest a few minutes in this process until you get an elastic and non-sticky dough. Fold and knead it well, then let it rise in a warm place, covered with a clean towel, until it doubles in volume, usually about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, you can prepare the filling ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into cubes or strips, then lightly brown it in a pan until it becomes golden and juicy. In another pan, slice the bell peppers thinly and sauté them over high heat for 2 minutes, so they retain their crunchy texture. Peel the pineapple and cut it into cubes, bringing a sweet-sour contrast that will perfectly complement the savory flavors of the pizza.
After the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts and roll each piece into a thin sheet. Spread each sheet with tomato sauce, sprinkle half of the cheese, then add the browned chicken breast, pineapple cubes, sliced bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped green onion.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius and let it bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges become golden and crispy. Finally, take the pizza out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve the pizza hot, sliced, and enjoy the delicious flavors that blend harmoniously. Enjoy your meal!
