- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ cup Fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil and some for greasing a pan
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 4 ounces Cream cheese room temperature

- 1 cup Cooked chicken chopped
- ½ cup Buffalo sauce
- 8 ounces Mozzarella shredded
- 1 tablespoon Green onions chopped

Instructions
Preparations
- Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands to mix them together until a ball forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for a few minutes until you have a nice soft dough ball.
- Roll out the pizza dough using a rolling pin (dusted with flour) until it forms a large circle.
- Stretch the pizza dough out until it's around 16 inches in diameter to fit your pizza pan or pizza stone.
- Transfer the stretched-out pizza dough to your pizza pan.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Cooking instructions
- Microwave the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds until it becomes very soft. Mix in the ranch seasoning and spread this over the pizza crust.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Combine the cooked chicken and buffalo wings sauce in a bowl and evenly spread this on top of the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the edges of the dough begin to brown and the cheese and sauce start to bubble.
- Remove the buffalo chicken pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped green onion and ranch dressing. Slice it using a pizza cutter, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Prevent your chicken buffalo pizza from sticking to the pan
A good tip to help your pizza slide right off the baking pan is to wrap it in aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over it. This will prevent the pizza crust from sticking to your pan and eliminate washing the pan afterward.
Easy transfer the stretched dough
An easy way to transfer the dough from the surface to your pan is to fold it in half and then again to form a quarter. Place that into the middle of the pan and unfold it so that it fits your pan. Alternatively, you can use your rolling pin to gently lift the dough onto the pan.
