How To Make grilled chicken & asparagus white pizza

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, stir together the yeast & warm water, add honey and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile in a glass measuring cup, combine the cold water, oil and salt. Add the cold water mixture to the yeast and stir in flour.
  • Step 3
    Knead the dough on a heavily floured board until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes)
  • Step 4
    Put the dough in a lightly greased bowl and turn to coat. Let the dough rise, covered loosely with plastic food wrap in a warm, draft free place for 1 hour.
  • Step 5
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Step 6
    While dough is rising, whisk together 2 Tbsp. flour and skim milk until perfectly smooth. Pour all ingredients for white sauce into small saucepan and heat over medium heat until cheese has melted and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat, salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Step 7
    Press your crust into a greased pizza pan.
  • Step 8
    Ladle and spread your white sauce onto pizza crust and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic.
  • Step 9
    Top with a layer of grilled chicken, then a layer of mushrooms and asparagus.
  • Step 10
    Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese
  • Step 11
    Bake until crust and cheese are golden brown, usually 12-15 minutes.
