Ingredients

Crust:
1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (2-1/4 tsp.) envelope Fleischmann's^® Pizza Crust Yeast
OR Fleischmann’s^® RapidRise^® Instant Yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup very warm water (120° to 130°F)*
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Toppings:
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup hot sauce
6 to 8 ounces (about 2 cups ) cooked, cubed chicken***
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 to 2 cups (4 to 8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (If not using Pizza Crust Yeast, although dough to rest for 10 minutes.)
Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough.
Combine pizza sauce and hot sauce; spread over crust. Top with chicken and celery. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Top with blue cheese.
Bake on lowest oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
*If you don't have a thermometer, water should feel very warm to the touch.
**To knead the dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hands to keep the dough from sticking. Flatten dough and fold it toward you. Using the heels of your hands, push the dough away with a rolling motion. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the "fold, push and turn" steps. Keep kneading dough until it is smooth and elastic. Use a little more flour if dough becomes too sticky, always working the flour into the ball of dough.
***Use leftover grilled chicken, purchased precooked chicken strips OR rotisserie chicken.
