How to Make It
DoughUse a high-hydration sourdough crust, cold-fermented for 48 hours to provide a robust, tangy foundation that stands up to the sweet and spicy toppings.
SauceSpread a thin, even layer of the BBQ sauce across the dough, leaving a one-inch border for the crust to puff.
- 1Preheat your oven with a pizza stone inside to its maximum temperature, ideally 500°F (260°C), for at least 45 minutes.
- 2Stretch your fermented dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
- 3Apply the BBQ sauce base, then lay down a foundational layer of Provolone cheese to act as a moisture barrier.
- 4Evenly distribute the Spicy Chicken, shelled Edamame, and chopped Sun-Dried Tomatoes across the pizza.
- 5Thinly slice the Pear and halve the Figs, then arrange them strategically to ensure a bit of fruit in every bite.
- 6Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the crust is blistered and the fruit has slightly caramelized.
- 7Remove from the oven and immediately add small, cold dollops of Ricotta and crumbles of pungent Gorgonzola while the pizza is piping hot.
- 8Drizzle the entire pizza with a zigzag of creamy Ranch dressing and a light swirl of Chili Oil.
- 9Finish with a generous sprinkle of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes for an extra layer of heat.
- 10Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing to allow the cheeses to set.
Chef's Tip
Gently toss your sliced pears and figs in a teaspoon of the chili oil before placing them on the pizza; this helps the sugars caramelize faster while infusing the fruit with a subtle, deep heat.
