“We got the idea to make this pizza after seeing a Chicago deep-dish pizza in the BC cookbook.  I used Tammy’s crust recipe and we just kinda improvised from there!  This may make more than one pizza, but I’m terrible at getting dough to rise, so this was only enough for one for us.  Oh yeah, this pizza is made in a jelly roll pan or a springform pan!”

Ingredients
CRUST:
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoons yeast

TOPPING:
Mozzarella cheese (optional)
Cooked, shredded chicken (Used about 1/2 cup canned chicken)
Pineapple, cut into small pieces  (We used 3-4 pineapple rings)
BBQ sauce
Chopped onion (We used about 1/4 cup)

1. Mix water, sugar and butter.  Add some flour, mix well.  Add remaining flour and yeast and mix.

2. Knead 6-8 minutes.  Grease top of dough, place in bowl, cover and let raise in warm place.

3.  Punch down dough.  Spread dough onto bottom and up sides of greased springform or jelly roll pan. 

4. Top crust with cheese if desired.  Bake crust for a few minutes (We did it for about 5 minutes on 375-ish)

5. Saute onions in oil.  Add pineapple, chicken and BBQ sauce.. simmer for a few minutes.

6. Spoon filling into crust.  Top with more cheese if desired.  Bake about 10 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned.
