  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce such as Frank's RedHot
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese optional
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • large skillet
  • spatula
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Oven
  • Pizza cutter or knife

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Cook the Chicken: While the dough is rising, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  7. Pour sauce over the cooked chicken and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Assemble the Flatbread: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  9. Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half. Roll one half into a 12-inch circle (or oval) on a lightly floured surface.
  10. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Add Toppings: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the flatbread dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Top with buffalo chicken and crumbled blue cheese (if using).
  12. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Garnish with green onions. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a drizzle of hot honey. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the heat level. Be careful not to oversaturate the flatbread with dressing to prevent sogginess.
