BBQ chicken pizza

What's better on a cold day than something warm out of the oven?!  This helped me clean out my frig tonight!

Ingredients for the crust:
2-2 1/4 cups flour
1 pkg rapid rise yeast
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2/3 cup water  (120 degrees-130 degrees)
3 TB olive oil

Toppings:
1 small chicken breast cooked, diced
1/4-1/2 cup BBQ sauce
2 TB Franks Red Hot
1 small red onion, sliced thin
8-10 fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine), sliced

Preheat oven to 425.  Mix 1 cup of the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.  Add very warm water and mix well.  Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 4 minutes.  Shape into a ball and let it rest for 15 minutes.  Roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness you like.  I cut the dough ball in half, and rolled this one pretty thin.  Spread BBQ sauce over the crust, and top with onions, diced chicken, and fresh mozz.  Drizzle Red Hot over the whole thing.  Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes on the bottom rack.  The other half of the dough I used to make myself a small deep dish crust pizza!
