pizza no. 10 : buffalo chicken.

occasion : it's Wednesday (again).

crust : our whole wheat usual. I promise I'll be trying out more crusts and different cooking methods at some point turing this pizza adventure! Right now, while things have been so busy, it's made more sense to just use what I know and let the experimentation be in the toppings. 🙂

sauce : a cream sauce similar to this but we didn't add parm to the sauce (there was plenty of other cheese on this pizza). To get the "buffalo chicken" flavor, we added several tablespoons of Frank's red hot right into the sauce.

cheese : mozzarella & crumbled bleu cheese!

toppings : grilled chicken & extra Frank's red hot sauce. (I just liberally tossed it all over the pizza.)

thoughts : fun fact – buffalo chicken wings are my favorite appetizer. Preferably ordered at a dive bar during happy hour. The goal here was to try and get some of that same flavor on a pizza and the results were… pretty good! Basically, we liked it, but we think there is room for improvement. Paul thinks it might be better if we had skipped adding the hot sauce into the cream base and just added it on top. He also thinks we should have added bleu cheese to the cream sauce. I'll keep you posted.

    If you like buffalo chicken wings, this dip is out of control good. It always disappears in about 5 minutes after I serve it. It might also serve as some good pizza inspiration? 🙂 http://www.thebittenword.com/thebittenword/2008/11/buffalo-chicken-dip.html

    My Mister and I actually tried to experiment with a buffalo chicken pizza a couple weeks ago. #epicfail
    I like the idea of adding it into the cream sauce though… I’ll definitely be watching for updates!!

    If you like buffalo wings, I recommend looking up Baked Buffalo Chicken Pasta. It is wonderful. I use KC Masterpiece Buffalo Sauce.

    Is it weird that I was at the mall last night and saw a woman with a yellow & tan chevron bag and thought “That reminds me of the Seafoam edition of project life, I bet Elise would love it. I have been enjoying your blog for years, but don’t really know you.

    Sounds tasty! We’ve been making pizza every other week or so but have yet to be as experimental as you. We may just have to try a few of your combos. A quick, easy and tasty pizza we’ve made a few times is simply olive oil, minced garlic, asiago, and mozzarella with some finely chopped baby spinach. Sometimes we’ll use pesto instead of the oil & garlic and other times we might add a little chicken or some tomatoes. And if there’s feta in the fridge rather than mozzarella, that works just fine too. Look forward to seeing more your pizza creations!
