Essential Ingredients for Perfect Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Guacamole

This recipe calls for a mix of pantry staples and fresh ingredients to make every layer of this pizza shine. Here’s what you’ll need for the key players:

Buffalo Wing Sauce: Brings the heat! Use your favorite brand or adjust the spice by mixing it with a bit of melted butter as suggested. For a milder option, go with a slightly sweet buffalo sauce.
Fontina and Gorgonzola Cheese: Fontina melts like a dream for that gooey, velvety layer, while gorgonzola contributes just the right amount of sharpness. If you’re out, mozzarella can sub for fontina, and feta works in place of gorgonzola.
Homemade Pizza Dough: The base of it all! Making it from scratch ensures a soft, fluffy texture with crisp edges. Sub in store-bought dough if you’re short on time.
Guacamole: This topping adds unbeatable freshness with mashed avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and a dash of salt and pepper. Make it just before serving to keep it vibrant.

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup buffalo wing sauce + extra for drizzling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup ranch dressing
12 ounces fontina cheese, freshly grated

4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped chives
2 avocados
1 lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Guacamole

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, honey, and olive oil. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.
Mix in 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Knead in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour on a floured surface for a few minutes.
Coat a bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover with a towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, cook the chicken. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet, cook for 30 seconds, then stir in buffalo wing sauce and melted butter. Coat the chicken thoroughly and remove from heat.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to your desired pizza shape. Place on a prepared baking sheet or pizza stone and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread ranch dressing over the pizza dough, then sprinkle most of the fontina cheese on top.
Add the buffalo chicken, half the gorgonzola, and 2 sliced green onions. Sprinkle with the remaining fontina cheese.
Drizzle a little extra buffalo sauce over everything, then bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
While the pizza bakes, make the guacamole. Mash avocado in a bowl with lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the remaining gorgonzola, green onions, cilantro, and chives. Add dollops of guacamole across the surface. Slice and serve immediately!
