Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures a hot oven for baking, which is essential for a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare your pizza pan by spraying it with cooking spray or dusting it with cornmeal. This prevents the pizza from sticking and helps achieve that perfect crust.
  3. To make the alfredo sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Allow this to simmer while you prepare the dough.
  4. In a stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about five minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
  5. Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough forms a ball and becomes smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  6. Let the dough rest for about ten minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
  7. Roll the dough out into a circle about 10 to 12 inches in diameter, depending on how thick you prefer your pizza. For a thinner crust, divide the dough in half and make two pizzas.
  8. Transfer the rolled dough to your prepared pizza pan, pressing the dough from the center outwards to create a thicker crust at the edges.
  9. Spread the alfredo sauce generously over the crust, making sure to leave a small border for the crust.
  10. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on any additional toppings such as chicken, bacon, and sliced red onions.
  11. Top the pizza with the remaining mozzarella cheese. This layer will create that gooey, melty top that we all love.
  12. Brush the outer edges of the crust lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal to enhance the crust’s texture.
  13. Bake the pizza in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-browning.
  14. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to cut clean slices.
  15. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken Alfredo Pizza with friends and family!
