Place this dough in a warm, draft free location and let it rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until puffy.

Divide dough into 2 equal parts for 2 large pizzas or 3 parts for 3 medium sized pizzas. Oil/Grease the pizza pan.

Using rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough to a 10-12 inch circle and place in prepared pans and let them rise for 30-40 minutes.

¼ tsp salt or to taste

1/8 tsp black pepper

½ tsp lemon juice

Pizza Assembly:

Pierce puffed pizza dough disks by fork lightly. Spoon sauce on the dough and spread to within 1 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with any chicken cubes of your choice and shredded mozzarella cheese of desired amount. (You can also use topping of your choice). Lightly coat each dough disk edges with melted butter using silicon brush just before placing in oven.

Place pizza in oven preheated to 475 degrees F and bake for 8 minutes. Broil from top for 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbly in the center.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle marjoram all over the cheese. Let it cool for 2 minutes and transfer pizza to a cutting board and cut into wedges using a pizza cutter. Enjoy!
