Chicken pizza with mushroom and pineapple toppings

Christmas day dinner with the family resulted in me baking all afternoon. I love cooking for my family and seeing them enjoy the food is extremely satisfactory.

The main on my menu today was pizza. It's one of the easiest one-dish meal to make, you can bake in bulk, and it's yummy comfort food that you can eat for days. Pizza toppings are extremely fun to prepare because it gives the cook the freedom of adding in whatever comes to mind, and the result will always still taste good. I love that I live a very short distance away from Tesco that I can impulsively plan menus and pop in to get my ingredients. And when Tesco runs out of yeast, there's always Cold Storage nearby as a backup plan. 

Ingredients:
The dough:
1/2 cup warm water
1 sachet of active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp oregano
2 cups sifted plain flour

Toppings:
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 yellow onions, diced finely
2 large carrots, diced finely
6 large tomatoes, sliced finely
Portabello mushrooms
1 can sliced pineapples
2 fillets of chicken breast meat, cut into bite sized pieces
1 can tomato puree
Oregano for sprinkling over the pizza
Mozzarella and cheddar cheese mixtures, coarsely grated

Directions:

To prepare the dough:
1. Place warm water in a mixing bowl and add in the yeast, salt, sugar and oregano. Stir to dissolve the yeast.
2. Add one cup of flour and blend all the ingredients together with a spoon or mixer until smooth. Stir in the remaining flour then cover with a clean cloth and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
3. Spread dough evenly with oiled spoon over a pizza tray.

To prepare the toppings:
1. Saute half of the chopped garlic and all the onions in about 5 Tbsp oil till fragrant. Add in the tomato puree.
2. Add in the carrots to the pan and continue sauteing until the carrots are tender. Add in the chicken meat and fry till it's cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the pizza:
1. Cover each dough with a few tablespoons of puree mixture. Layer with mushroom, sliced tomatoes and pineapples. Sprinkle some chopped garlic, add a dash of oregano over the toppings, and sprinkle loads of cheese over the pizza.
2. Bake in 200C oven for 25 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
