1

Prepare the pizza dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 packet of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, then place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2

Prepare the BBQ chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite BBQ seasoning. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks.

3

Assemble the pizza

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the prepared dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread a generous amount of your favorite BBQ sauce onto the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the shredded BBQ chicken, sliced red onion, and grated mozzarella cheese.

4

Bake and add the gold leaf

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. While the pizza is still hot, delicately place small pieces of edible gold leaf on top, creating a luxurious touch. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
