Preparation

Step 1

FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH: Combine the honey, STAR Basil Oil and yeast in the bowl of your mixer. Pour in the warm {100-110 degrees} and stir. Wait about 10 minutes for the yeast to proof and foam up.
Next add the flour and salt. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface until no longer tacky.
Place dough in a bowl that's been lightly oiled with more of the STAR basil oil, turn to coat and cover with a tea towel for 30-40 minutes
After the dough has risen, punch it down and form into 6 to 8 personal size pizzas.

FOR THE BRUSCHETTA: Combine the chopped roma tomatoes with the parsley, basil, garlic, STAR basil oil, balsamic vinegar, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Toss together and refrigerate until ready to use.

FOR THE PIZZA: Toss the chicken breasts in the STAR Garlic Grilling Oil and seasoning salt. Place on a preheated grill {medium-high heat} and grill 6-8 minutes a side or until fully cooked. Let cool and then sliced into strips.
Stretch the dough out into 6 or 8 personal sized pizzas. Place two pizzas at a time on an inverted baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Top each pizza with sliced grilled chicken, red onion and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12-16 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and topping with a few spoonfuls of the tomato basil bruschetta.
