Ingredients

TOPPINGS

2 cups Rose chicken instructions below*
2 cups Mozzarella cheese shredded
1 tbsp Rose petals dried

SAUCE

1 cup Rose Sauce instructions below*

WILD DOUGH

2 cups Sourdough starter active
1 cup Bread flour
1 tsp Salt

Rose Chicken and Sauce*

5 pieces Chicken thighs boneless and skinless
1 can Tomato sauce 398ml
1 cup Cream
½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Cooking oil
½ tsp Basil dried
½ tsp Oregano dried
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black pepper

Instructions

Wild Dough (1 hour)

Make your dough by mixing the sourdough starter, flour and salt together (adding a bit of flour at a time until it takes shape but is still a little sticky) and knead the dough for about 30 seconds.
Place the dough in lightly floured bowl and cover with a towel, set aside for 1 hour. (The pizza steel or stone needs to preheat for 1 hour as well, so preheat oven to 550 degrees after you finish making your pizza dough)

Rose Chicken and Sauce*

Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
Mince garlic.
On a plate, oil the chicken and season both sides with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. In an oven-safe frying pan, brown chicken on med-high heat 2-3 minutes each side.
Remove chicken, add garlic and cook 1 min.
Add tomato sauce, basil, oregano, cream, cheese and mix well. Add chicken back to the pan and bake in oven @ 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes.
Remove chicken from pan, let cool and chop. Reserve 1 cup of Rose sauce from the pan.

PIZZA (8-10 minutes)

Grate mozzarella.
Preheat oven to 550 degrees F. with baking steel or pizza stone inside the oven for 1 hour.
Flour surface and roll out the dough. Put a floured pizza peel underneath the dough.
Add sauce, cheese, and chicken. Pat down the toppings before putting into the oven.
Bake pizza in the oven at 550 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes.
Remove pizza from oven with pizza peel, and add dried rose petals. Let cool for 5 minutes.
