Instructions
 

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.

      - Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture begins to come together.

        - Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

          - Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

            Make the Alfredo Sauce:

              - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, ensuring it doesn’t brown.

                - Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant, stirring frequently.

                  - Gradually pour in the heavy cream, constantly stirring to combine.

                    - Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

                      - Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.

                        Preheat the Oven:

                          - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up as well.

                            Assemble the Pizza:

                              - Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release air and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a circular shape, approximately 12 inches in diameter or to your preferred thickness.

                                - Carefully move the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easier transferring.

                                  - Spread a generous layer of the prepared Alfredo sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

                                    - Scatter the sliced or shredded chicken evenly over the sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh spinach leaves, and sun-dried tomatoes, if using.

                                      Bake the Pizza:

                                        - Carefully lift the parchment with the assembled pizza and slide it onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

                                          - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly with a slight golden hue.

                                            Garnish and Serve:

                                              - Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves on top.

                                                - Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.

                                                  - Serve hot and enjoy your deliciously Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pizza!
