My Version of "Schlotzsky's" BBQ Chicken Pizza

I LOVE Schlotzsky's bbq chicken pizza. It was my little treat to myself now and then, but our Schlotzsky's closed a while. I was so sad. So , for my birthday I searched the internet for a copy cat recipe. I found this one for the bread!! Yay! I made it just like it says, but I divided into 4 pieces and finger spread it out into four  8 or 9 inch round aluminum cake pans. (see picture below) Then baked for about 15 minutes till lightly browned and then we added our own pizza toppings and baked an additi onal 10 minutes!! Viola!!! my own version of Schlotzsky's BBQ chicken Pizza! Delicious!!!
Enjoy!

My Version of Schlotzsky's BBQ Chicken Pizza

  1⁄2 cup lukewarm water

1 tablespoon sugar

1(1/4 ounce) package yeast

3⁄4 cup lukewarm milk

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda

2 1⁄2 cups bread flour (all-purpose will work)

cornmeal

Directions: 

Stir water, sugar and yeast together and set aside.

Dissolve baking soda in 1/2 tablespoon warm water in medium bowl.

Add warm milk, salt and 1 cup flour; beat till smooth.

Beat in yeast mixture and remaining flour (batter will be thick and sticky, but not as thick as normal bread batter).

Spray four 8 or 9 inch aluminum cake pans with cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.

Divide dough into 4 pieces and place in pie pans; spread out with your fingers and cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375ºF and bake for 12 to 15 minutes till golden.

Cool 1 hour.

Top with your choice of Pizza toppings. 

For the BBQ chicken Pizza I used the following:

Your favorite BBQ sauce

2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced into bite size pieces

jarred Jalapeno peppers or banana peppers

Grated cheddar cheese

Grilled onions

First spread a spoonful or two of BBQ sauce onto each pizza, next comes grated cheese, then chicken, grilled onions, and peppers.

Bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until the cheese melts. 

Remove from oven. Cool for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and slice with pizza cutter. I served each on a dinner plate! There you have your own pizza just like Schlotzsky’s !!
