Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 200 grams
• active dry yeast - 5 grams
• warm water - 100 milliliters
• Qingdao beer - 100 milliliters
• olive oil - 15 milliliters
• salt - 5 grams
• sugar - 2 grams
• mozzarella cheese - 100 grams
• cooked chicken (diced) - 100 grams
• green bell pepper (sliced) - 50 grams
• red onion (sliced) - 50 grams
• sweet chili sauce - 30 milliliters
• fresh cilantro (chopped) - 10 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and Qingdao beer, then mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 20 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
5. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spread the sweet chili sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, green bell pepper, and red onion over the sauce, then top with mozzarella cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before slicing and serving.
