Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Milk: 5.1 fl oz (150 ml)
Flour: 1 tablespoon

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine half of the flour with yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Add the warm water and olive oil, mixing well.
- Gradually incorporate the remaining flour until a soft, elastic dough forms. You may not need all the flour, so adjust as needed.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
- Chop the chicken, onion, and mushrooms into small pieces.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken for about 5 minutes.
- Add the onion and mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until everything is tender.
- Pour in the milk, then stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Allow it to cool.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Roll the dough into a thin circle (about 12 inches/30 cm in diameter) and transfer it to a baking tray or pizza stone.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
- Grate the cheese and sprinkle it generously on top.
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C).
- Bake the pizza for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
