Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/8 cups warm water
  • 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
  • 6 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • 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!
