step one, prepare the sponge

1. Begin by combining warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a mixing bowl. Stir gently, cover, and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes, or until it becomes foamy. This step ensures your yeast is activated, giving the dough its perfect rise for your homemade pizza dough.

step two, mix the dough ingredients

1. Add all-purpose flour, butter, salt, and a little more sugar to the foamy mixture. These ingredients work together to create the base of your soft and fluffy pizza crust.

step three, knead the dough

1. Knead the dough for 15–20 minutes, either by hand or with a stand mixer, until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it into a clean, oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest.

step four, first dough proof

1. Allow the dough to proof in a warm environment for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size. This step ensures a light and airy texture for your chicken Alfredo pizza crust.

step five, divide the dough

1. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts using a kitchen scale for precision. Roll each portion into a ball to create the base for your mini pizzas.

Step six, shape the dough and add cheese

1. Take one dough ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Spread mozzarella cheese along the edges, fold the edges over the cheese, and transfer it to a greased baking pan. Brush the edges with a beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish when baked.

Step seven, make Caramelized Onions

1. Thinly slice one whole onion. Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat and cook the onion slices until they become golden brown and soft. This adds a touch of sweetness and depth to your caramelized onion pizza.

step eight, prepare Alfredo sauce

1. In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté crushed garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and evaporated milk, bringing it to a simmer for about 4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese until melted, and season with black pepper, nutmeg, and salt. This rich and creamy sauce is the perfect base for your Alfredo chicken pizza.

step nine, season the chicken

1. Dice the chicken into small cubes and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, granulated sugar, fresh parsley, and chili flakes. Add olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. This flavorful chicken topping will complement the creamy Alfredo sauce.

Step ten, preheat the oven

1. Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C). A properly heated oven ensures your pizza cooks evenly and achieves that perfect golden crust.

step eleven, assemble and bake the pizza

1. Spread the Alfredo sauce over the pizza base, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add caramelized onions, seasoned chicken, and fresh parsley for garnish. Bake in the oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Enjoy your mini chicken Alfredo pizza with a crispy crust, creamy sauce, caramelized onions, and juicy chicken! Perfect for any occasion!
