This pizza is designed to be rustic in look and have a mix of sweetness and heat. You can use a prepared pizza dough and even without meat for a vegetarian version. The real crucial components are the honey mustard and onions/red pepper to get that sweet and spicy balance.

Steps

1

Prepare cha-cha chicken per the recipe in my recipes.
2

If using a bread machine, add crust ingredients to the machine in the order listed. Run on dough setting. If not using a machine, mix ingredients by hand and knead for 15 minutes. Let rise for 90 minutes.
3

Thinly slice white onion.
4

In a saucepan over low heat, add bacon fat, sliced onions, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Cover and cook for 30 minutes until onion are softened and translucent.
5

Place a baking sheet in oven and preheat to 500°F.
6

Punch down dough and dust a flat surface with cornmeal. Stretch dough out on surface until desired size/thickness is reached. Should be able to make at least a 12" pizza.
7

To stretched dough, spread honey mustard dressing evenly on top. Add provolone slices, cha-cha chicken, and softened onions in that order.
8

Dampen outer edge of the crust with water and sprinkle with salt.
9

Transfer pizza to heated baking sheet and place in oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and bottom of crust is crispy.
