Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Stir in flour, salt, and olive oil until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If using store-bought dough, just let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes so it\u2019s easier to stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Preheat &amp; Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat your oven to 475\u00b0F. Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up \u2014 this helps get a crispier crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix your shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl until evenly coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Shape the Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Roll or stretch your dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer it to parchment paper for easy transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brush the dough lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder for extra flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Build the Pizza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spread ranch or blue cheese dressing across the dough as your sauce base. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Add the buffalo chicken evenly across the pizza. Follow with the remaining cheeses and crumbled blue cheese if using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully slide the parchment with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Finish &amp; Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley. Drizzle with more buffalo sauce or ranch if you want extra sauce action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slice it up and serve hot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional Toppings &amp; Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thinly sliced red onions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jalape\u00f1os for extra heat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A drizzle of honey for a sweet-spicy contrast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swap ranch for a garlic parmesan sauce base<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Buffalo Chicken Pizza is the perfect balance of spicy, cheesy, and savory \u2014 and it\u2019s way better than takeout.
