Start with 3 cups of white flour and dump everything into a Bosch mixer.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 packet of yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 cup of warm water.

Mix the ingredients for about 10 minutes until the dough forms a nice soft ball.

If kneading by hand, it should take about 12 minutes to achieve a nice elastic dough.

Prepare the pizza stone by spraying it with non-stick spray and sprinkling it with cornmeal.

Roll out the dough until it's about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, stretching it over the edge of the pizza stone or baking sheet by about an inch.

Place a thick line of mozzarella cheese around the edge of the rolled-out dough to create a stuffed crust.

Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the crust.

Roll the edge of the dough up and press it down to seal the cheese inside the crust.

Spread barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, being cautious not to use too much as it can be strong.

Add cilantro on top of the barbecue sauce to keep it moist during baking.

Layer mozzarella cheese over the cilantro and sauce.

Add cooked chicken on top of the cheese, using as much as desired.

Top with red onions and pineapple, or any other preferred toppings.

Finish with another light layer of cheese on top.
