🔥 Method

1. Make the Dough
	1.	Add warm water to a bowl, then mix in yeast and sugar. Let it bloom for 5–10 minutes.
	2.	Add olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix into a shaggy dough.
	3.	Rest at a warm place for 30 mins. 
  4.  Do 3 rounds of stretch-and-folds, spaced 25–30 minutes apart.
	5.	Cover and let rise for 1 hour until puffy.

2. Cook Chicken
	1.	Marinate the chicken with all listed spices, yogurt, ginger–garlic paste, salt, and a drizzle of oil.
	2.	Rest for 30 minutes.
	3.	Cook in a pan until done.

3. Make the Peri-Peri Sauce
	1.	Place bell pepper, tomato, garlic, and green chilies on a tray.
	2.	Drizzle with oil, season with salt, black peoper, and roast until slightly charred.
	3.	Blend with coriander, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and a little olive oil.
	4.	Add water or extra oil to adjust sauce consistency.

4. Shape the Pizza
	1.	Dust the work surface with flour + semolina.
	2.	Gently stretch the dough by hand — very thin center, thicker edges.
	3.	Do not use a rolling pin and do not knock out the air.

5. Assemble
	1.	Brush the crust with peri-peri sauce for color.
	2.	Spread a thin layer of sauce in the center.
	3.	Add mozzarella → chicken → veggies→ more mozzarella.

6. Bake
	1.	Preheat oven to 250-280 °C (max temperature). Keep the oven tray inside.
	2.	Slide pizza onto hot oven tray and bake 5–7 minutes until bubbly and golden.
