Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll/pull/flatten the pizza crust dough to about 14 inches in diameter (if making one tofu and one chicken pizza, divide dough in half and shape into two pizzas about 8 inches in diameter.)
- Brush a cookie sheet with a little olive oil and carefully lay the pizza crust(s) on the cookie sheet.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce onto the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges. (If making two pizzas, spread 1/4 cup on each pizza).
- Add tofu or chicken to a small bowl and add remaining barbecue sauce. Carefully toss and evenly place pieces over pizza crust. (If making two pizzas, place tofu in one bowl and chicken in the other, and pour 1/4 cup sauce over each. Toss and spread on respective crusts.)
- Lay sliced red onions over the top.
- Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and the fresh cilantro over the top.
- Slice and serve!
BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA
This simple recipe celebrates a 1980s classic invented by the American pizza genius Ed LaDou (whose fingerprints are also on Wolfgang Puck's famous smoked-salmon pizza). The pizza matches the flavors of chicken with barbecue sauce, red onion, two kinds of cheese and a little cilantro. Use homemade dough and barbecue sauce, cook it in the hottest setting of your oven, and the classic pie goes from good to great. Want to make the recipe vegetarian? Simply substitute mushrooms for the chicken and sauté until most of their moisture is evaporated.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 500. Season the chicken with salt, and heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Toss the chicken into hot oil, and cook for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until you no longer see any pink. Add 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, and stir well, then set aside off the heat.
- Working on two separate pieces of parchment paper, use your hands to stretch the 2 balls of dough into 2 rough circles, about 12 inches in diameter. Slide each piece of parchment paper onto a baking tray, and finish assembling pizza there: Drizzle with remaining olive oil, spread with remaining barbecue sauce, then evenly divide the mozzarella all over. Top with chicken pieces, red onion and finally Gouda.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until dough is cooked through and edges of the onion and cheese are just starting to color. Once the pizza is slightly cooled, season with salt and pepper and scatter with cilantro.
BARBEQUE CHICKEN GRILLED PIZZA
Quick and easy for those summer cookouts. I often make as an appetizer while the ribs are cooking. Use whatever toppings you normally like on regular pizza, but the barbeque chicken is always a crowd pleaser! The dough never makes a perfect rectangle, but we have fun guessing what it looks like ('That looks like America!'). For the chicken, I use the grilled chicken pre-cooked at the store.

Tips:
- For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet preheated to a high temperature.
- If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can use a cast iron skillet.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife to slice the tofu thinly. This will help it cook evenly.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the tofu in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- To make the pizza sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can chop the tomatoes and garlic finely and then mix them together with the other ingredients.
- Feel free to add other toppings to your pizza, such as vegetables, cheese, or cooked meat.
- Be sure to bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
