1

Activate the yeast by mixing 300 g warm water with 7 g of yeast and a bit of sugar, then cover and set aside.

2

Season the deboned chicken leg with Lynen all-purpose seasoning and homemade jerk marinade.

3

Cook the seasoned chicken in a pan, allowing it to cook without flipping too quickly.

4

Prepare the pizza dough by adding flour and stretching it without overworking it, then let it prove until doubled in size.

5

Roll out the dough on a surface dusted with semolina or cornmeal to prevent sticking.

6

Spread pizza sauce in the center of the stretched dough, being careful not to soak it too much.

7

Sprinkle mature cheddar cheese over the sauce, followed by sweet corn, olives, and grilled peppers.

8

Top with the jerk chicken, then place the pizza in the oven to bake.
