2. Slowly add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

4. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 25 cm (10 inch) diameter round on a floured surface.
6. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, sliced Vietnamese sausage, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onion, soy sauce, and black pepper until well combined.
8. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the filling for added texture and flavor.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.
