- 1 cup (240 ml) cooked chicken, roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) barbecue sauce (your preferred style)

Instructions
Easy Pizza Crust:
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let rest for 5 minutes, until bubbling.
- Stir in the salt, sugar, and olive oil.
- Gradually add the flour until the dough is pliable and easy to work with.
- Knead for 5–10 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough ball in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise 1–2 hours until doubled in size and an indentation from your finger holds its shape.
- Punch down the dough and divide into three equal balls.
- Working with one ball at a time, pat into a disc and stretch outward. Use a rolling pin if needed to form an 8–12-inch round or oblong flatbread.
- Place on a floured pizza peel or directly on the baking pan.
Roasted Fig Flatbread:
- Preheat the oven (or barbecue with a pizza stone) to its highest setting, at least 500°F (260°C).
- Generously scatter the grated Classic and Weissbier-style cheeses over the dough. Arrange the sliced figs and caramelized onion rings over the cheese.
- Finely grate the aged hard cheese over the top.
- Drizzle the crust with olive oil if desired.
- Bake on a preheated pizza stone or perforated pan for 7–10 minutes, until the crust is browned and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, top with fresh arugula, and drizzle with honey if desired. Serve immediately.
BBQ Chicken Flatbread:
- Preheat the oven (or barbecue with a pizza stone) to its highest setting, at least 500°F (260°C).
- Generously scatter the grated Classic and Weissbier-style cheeses over the dough. Toss the chopped chicken with the barbecue sauce and spread evenly over the cheese. Arrange the caramelized onion rings on top.
- Finely grate the aged hard cheese over the top.
- Drizzle the crust with olive oil if desired.
- Bake on a preheated pizza stone or perforated pan for 7–10 minutes, until the crust is browned and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, top with fresh arugula, and drizzle with honey if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- The dough divides into three portions — make all three variations at once, or freeze extra dough balls after the first rise.
- Leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken works perfectly for the BBQ variation.
- Caramelize the onion rings low and slow in a little butter for 20–25 minutes before topping.
