Ingredients:

• 1 (1-lb.) fresh pizza dough, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
• 4 oz. smoked Gouda cheese, shredded (about 1 cup), divided
• 4 oz. pre-shredded, low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup), divided
• 4 oz. fresh mozzarella pearls (from 1 [8-oz.] pkg.)
• 6 oz. chopped grilled or roasted chicken (1 1/4 cups)
• 1/3 cup pickled sliced banana peppers, patted dry
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (from 1 [8-oz.] onion)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (2 scallions)
• Torn cilantro leaves, for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare oven and baking stone:

   Preheat oven to 450°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet in oven on middle rack.

2. Roll out dough:

   Roll or stretch pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a sheet of parchment paper on work surface.

3. Add toppings to pizza:

   Spread barbecue sauce over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
   Sprinkle with half of the Gouda and half of the shredded mozzarella.
   Top with mozzarella pearls, chicken, banana peppers, red onion, and scallions.
   Sprinkle with remaining Gouda and shredded mozzarella.

4. Bake pizza:

   Once oven is preheated, carefully lift parchment paper, and place parchment and pizza onto preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly, 18 to 20 minutes.
   Let pizza stand 5 minutes; cut into slices, and garnish with torn cilantro leaves.
