How to Make Mexican Chicken Pizza With Cornmeal Crust
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Caramelize the onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and soft (about 15-20 minutes). Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Set aside.
- Make the dough: In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on high speed for 1 minute.
- Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal and the remaining 3/4 cup flour to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rest: Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the crust: Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle with additional cornmeal. Press the dough into a 14x10-inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Prick the dough with a fork.
- Pre-bake the crust: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just begin to brown.
- Assemble and bake the pizza: Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend. Top with shredded chicken, fire-roasted tomatoes, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
- Bake the pizza: Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions (optional), and a dollop of sour cream (optional). Slice and serve immediately.
