It's practically a universal favorite: pizza. And how could you go wrong with bread and cheese?! Well, I'm sure there are many ways, and I have alternatives down below if you are opposed to using dairy or genetically modified wheat. But in the meantime, this pizza is a hit, not just for adults but for kids, too!

Before I give you this super simple crowd pleasing recipe, I want to share with you a healthier alternative to using genetically modified wheat. A few years ago, I learned about Einkorn flour, an ancient wheat. Though it is substantial more expensive, if you are having any health issues related to eating wheat, this might help. Do be sure to speak to your healthcare professional before trying Einkorn wheat if you are sensitive or allergic to wheat. Now for the dairy. You can use a vegan alternative to cheese, but in my experience, my son (who is severely allergic to dairy) and I have found that a cheese free pizza is actually really tasty. In this case the garlic sauce could be topped with chicken and cherry tomatoes or sun dried tomatoes. Yum!

Check out my most requested recipe here (it's for pizza puffs):

Dough Recipe:
2 cups warm water (if you can't easily put your finger in the water, the water is too hot)
4 cups of flour
1/2-1 packet of yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of brown sugar (optional)

Mix wet ingredients, then mix in flour. Avoid using metal bowls and utensils. Cover and let rise for 2-5 hours. It will be a wet dough.

Toppings and sauce:
Clean and cut two double chicken breasts into fajita slices
On high heat, cook chicken with a drizzle of oil (I use grapeseed oil). Season with salt, garlic powder and fresh garlic (optional).
Do not over cook. Set aside.

For the sauce: Mash two heads of garlic and mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Once the dough has risen, cover a sheet pan with parchment paper. Using your hands, spread out a thin layer of dough. It's sticky and will get all over your hands. If you prefer, you can roll it out, but you'll need to add flour. Both results are tasty.
Top dough with garlic/oil mixture. Add a thin layer of 'fancy' cheese like parmesan, fontana, asiago and provolone. Add layer of chicken. Top with a final thin layer of mozzarella cheese. You can top with sliced jalapeños or chives if you wish.

Bake for 11-13 minutes at 430 degrees. I have a convection bake oven which reduced the time of cooking and provides even cooking. Rotate on racks for even cooking if you have trouble cooking your pizza evenly and thoroughly.
