For the Toppings:

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

    - In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

      - Slowly add warm water and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

        - Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

          - Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

            Make the Alfredo Sauce:

              - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

                - Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.

                  - Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

                    Preheat the Oven:

                      - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

                        Assemble the Pizza:

                          - Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch round pizza shape.

                            - Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

                              - Spread a generous amount of the Alfredo sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

                                - Distribute the diced chicken evenly over the sauce, followed by spinach leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle oregano over the top, if using.

                                  Bake the Pizza:

                                    - Slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

                                      - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

                                        Serve:

                                          - Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

                                            - Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
