Kukicha Crust Chicken Pest Pizza

Submitted by: John Winter

Everyone loves pizza. Everyone loves Adagio tea. Why not combine the two!? This is a pizza, made from scratch, using the great taste of kukicha tea.

Prep Time: 1 hour 20 minutes prep time
35 minutes cook time
Serving Size: 10 slices

Ingredients
Dough:
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups strong brewed kukicha tea, warm
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
3 1/3 cups flour

Toppings:
1 jar pesto sauce
1 green pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
3/4 cup chopped white mushrooms
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded feta cheese


Directions:
Combine the yeast, sugar, and tea in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Add the salt and oil to the liquid and mix.
Mix in 2 cups of the flour.
Place the dough on a floured surface and work in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and let it rise for an hour.

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a circle (or whatever shape you want). Spread the pesto sauce on, place the toppings, and finish with cheese.

Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is a golden brown.
