Honey Mustard Chicken Pizza

Warren PrinceIngredients
Toppings
| 1 1/2 | tablespoon | Honey | ||
| 1 1/2 | tablespoon | Mustard, Dijon | ||
| 1 | each | Chicken Breast | cooked, sliced | |
| 1 | bunch | Basil, Fresh | or several leaves, to taste | |
| 1/4 | Cheese, Provalone | sliced or shredded |
Instructions
Make the whole wheat pizza dough indicated below.
Mix the honey and mustard together. I use a whole grain mustard instead of the Dijon.
Shape the dough into a pizza shape and put it on the peel.
Paint the dough with the honey/mustard sauce.
Arrange chicken on the pizza.
Then add the basil.
At this point, I'd put it in the egg, on the pizza stone, pre-heated for at least 1/2 hour to about 550 F. I like to use an inverted plate setter with the regular grate on the plate setter legs, with the pizza stone on the grate. This way, the plate setter acts as a diffuser, and no flare-ups or hot spots affect the pizza stone. Bake the pizza for about 5 minutes.
Then, remove the pizza, add the cheese, and return to the egg for another 5 minutes or so. Watch closely to achieve the desired degree of doneness.

I mix mine in a mixer with a dough hook, where I process the dough for about 10 minutes. I would think this would exceed the size of most food processors, but would probably be fine if cut in half. Process as you would any other dough. Alternatively, you could probably knead by hand for about 10 minutes
Scale to .9 pound portions, shape into a ball and alow to rest for about an hour. You can use it right away or an store in the fridge for a couple days. If you use it after refrigeration, there is no need to let it rise again or even come to room temperature. In fact, you may find the cooler dough easier to work with.
If you elect to store the dough, the easiest way is in a pizza tin you can buy rather cheaply at a restaurant supply house. This is one container for each dough ball. You squirt a layer of oil in the bottom of the tin, and put a well rounded dough ball on top. Flatten the dough with your hand, into the oil, turning it with a twist of the wrist to coat the bottom of the dough with oil. Turn the dough over so the oiled side is facing up and flatten and twist again, cover (with a lid or the next tin) and refridgerate till needed. When you make a pizza it is *** IMPORTANT *** to keep the top of the dough facing up when you put it on your work table. This is the dry side. You put the oiled or wet side down on your work table. You can pour some of the oil from the tin on to your work surface as well as a lubricant. Put some flour on the top of the dough and sprinkle some on the pizza peel. Using your hands you work the dough with your fingers and palms, allowing the disc of dough to spin in the oil. When you've reached your desired size, you lift the dough onto the back of your hands (sort of on your knuckles) with the dry floured side on your knuckles. You can stretch the dough more if needed. When it's the right size, you flip the dough onto the peel, flour side DOWN. You do not want to get any oil or sauce on the peel or the dough will stick. Add sauce and toppings and into the oven it goes.
