Best 5 Grandma Lees Hoisin Chicken Pizza Recipes

GRANDMA LEE'S HOISIN CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix yeast, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy. In a mixer with a dough hook, mix flour and five spice powder. While mixer is running, slowly pour in yeast mixture, oils and the rest of the water; knead on low speed for 8 to 10 minutes. Stop mixer when the dough forms a smooth and firm ball. Divide dough into 6 balls and place on sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm part of the kitchen; let balls double in size, about 2 hours. Working on a floured surface with floured hands, take one ball and spread out with your fingers to about 5 inches in diameter. Take a floured rolling pin and roll out to a little less than a 1/4-inch thick. The final diameter will be 8 to 10 inches. On a low grill, brush on a little canola oil and mark one side. Brush oil on the raw side and flip. Immediately place toppings and cover with a lid to help retain the heat and assist the cheese melting process. Carefully watch the pizza. If the grill is too hot, the bottom will burn before the pizza is ready. If this occurs, you can place the pizza on a tray and use the broiler of an oven to finish the melting.
• In a bowl, mix scallions, chicken, hoisin, ginger and sambal. Season with salt and pepper. Top raw pie with mix then top with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. (Because of the raw chicken, we bake it for longer at a lower temperature. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked.) Garnish with scallions.

GRANDMA'S PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Cut the dough in half; you should have enough for two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. You can make both pizzas now, or hold the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Lightly oil one or two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. Add the dough and press down on it to spread it toward the edges. You won't be able to get it all the way to the edges, so spread it as much as you can without tearing. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• For the sauce: Put the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and some salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
• For the topping: Spread the sauce all the way to the corners of the dough. Top the sauce with the mozzarella and sprinkle with black pepper and chile flakes if using. Bake until the dough is crisp and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with the basil and some Parmesan and serve.

• For the roasted sweet onions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place onions on a sheet pan and toss with oil. Roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
• For the pizza: Preheat oven to 600 degrees F, or as hot as your oven will go.
• Rub 2 tablespoons olive oil into a grandma pizza pan or half-sheet pan. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Stretch a dough ball into a square on a clean surface by pulling at the corners until it resembles the size of the pan you are using. Gently transfer to pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oil on top of dough and rub in, gently moving the dough into the corners of the pan. Repeat with remaining dough ball. Let rise in pans for 2 hours in a warm area.
• Cook bacon in a skillet for 6 minutes, then set aside.
• Parbake crust until lightly golden, about 8 minutes.

• Take pizza out of the pan and put back in the oven on a stone to crisp the bottom of the pie for 3 minutes. Sprinkle half of Pecorino on top, splash with half of chile oil and evenly distribute half of basil leaves. Repeat process with remaining dough and ingredients.

CHINESE CHICKEN PIZZA WITH HOISIN SAUCE

• Place dough in the center of the cooking grate, directly over the heat for one to three minutes, until the crust is well marked and browned. Flip dough and spread hoisin sauce evenly over cooked side of crust. Spread chicken, scallions, cilantro, and bell pepper evenly over crust. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Move to Indirect heat (for charcoal: the side of charcoal grill that has no coals. For gas: turn off burner directly under pizza). Cover grill and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until bottom is well browned, and cheese is fully melted.
