Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
2-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 each small green, sweet red and yellow peppers , julienned
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3 tbsp prepared pesto
1-1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat in 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon oil, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the remaining flour; beat until combined.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken, onion, peppers and mushrooms in remaining oil until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Punch dough down; roll into a 15-in. circle. Transfer to a 14-in. pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Spread with pesto. Top with chicken mixture and cheese. Sprinkle with pepper and remaining salt.
Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until crust and cheese are lightly browned. Yield: 8 slices.
