Step by Step Pizza Making Procedure

For your convenience, we have broken down the whole process into 3 easy steps. Follow them for a delicious pizza treat.

Step 1: Preparing Pizza Dough

Pour warm water into a mixing bowl. Now, add sugar and yeast.  Whisk until the sugar and yeast completely dissolve.

Now wait 10 minutes and let the mixture rest. You can cover up the bowl for quicker results.

Now, add the flour, salt, and olive oil into it and form a dough. Knead the dough till it becomes a ball.

If you are using a heavy-duty mixer or bread machine, keep the speed at medium.

The texture should be in between sticky and tight. When this texture arrives, the dough is ready. 

Grease a bowl with some oil and place the dough on it. Cover the bowl with wrap and let it sit for 2-3 hours to allow it to rise.

After 1 hour, it’s time to roll the crust. On a plain surface sprinkle some flour or cornmeal. Stretch the dough with your hand. Now roll a thin crust using the rolling pin.

The thickness of the crust should be ¼ inch. When completely rolled into a circle, fold over the outside edge to create the outer crust. And you’re pizza crust is ready.

Step 2: Preparing Pizza Sauce

In a saucepan pour the canned tomato paste. You can also use crushed tomatoes or puree. But in that case, make sure to crush the tomatoes. No chunks or lumps should be present.

Now add paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to it and mix everything well.  After that, add oregano, cumin, and coriander. Give it another stir.

Let it simmer for 30 minutes. Finally, add the kosher salt. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes and the sauce will be ready.

Step 3: Preparing the Pizza Toppings

Clean and cut the chicken pieces into dice shapes. Heat up a pan with some oil. Now sizzle the pieces of chicken. Sizzle until you see juice coming out from the chicken.

At this stage, add the Chipotle seasoning to the chicken. Cook about 8-10 minutes or until they turn brown. Turn off the heat and let it rest for another 10 minutes.

Now, take the pizza crust and pour a thin coating of sauce onto the crust. If you love spices, you can sprinkle the extra chipotle seasoning. Garnish with a light layer of Mozzarella and Mexican cheese.

Now, spread the cooked cooled-down chicken all over the pizza. Also sprinkle grape tomatoes, sliced Roma tomatoes, and jalapenos. 

Lastly, add some Italian seasoning or red chili flakes if you want to. Your beautiful and colorful chicken mariachi pizza is ready to bake.

Step 4: Baking The Pizza

Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. The temperature will be 450 degrees Fahrenheit.  Using a pizza pan, place the pizza into the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The pizza is ready.

Finally, Serve with a scoop of sour cream on top. The delicious pizza is ready to be served!

Some Important Tips

You may face some common questions while trying the recipe. Here are some tips to overcome them.

Can I Use Provolone or Cheddar Instead of Mexican-style Cheese?

You can use smoked cheddar. Provolone will also do, but smoked cheddar is more preferable.

My Sauce Tastes Less Spicy, What Should I Do? 

This sauce is meant to be mild in taste. However, you can add red chili powder if you want it to be spicier.

That’s it from our side. Try the pizza with your family and friends. Wish you a good culinary experience. See you soon.
