Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded provolone cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for Alfredo sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the Alfredo sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 12-inch deep dish pizza pan or a cast iron skillet.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large circle big enough to line the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 10

Carefully press the dough into the prepared pan, making sure it covers the sides to form a crust.

Step 11

Spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over the dough.

Step 12

Top with shredded chicken, baby spinach, shredded mozzarella, and shredded provolone cheese.

Step 13

Fold over any excess dough along the edges to create a thick crust.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 16

Serve warm and enjoy your rich and creamy Alfredo Deep Dish Pizza!
