For the Bread Machine Pizza Dough:

For the Herby Ranch Sauce:

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the pizza dough: In your bread machine, add all the ingredients in the order suggested by your bread machine. Select the dough cycle, and let it run the full cycle.
  • While the dough rises, bake the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the breasts in a small baking dish and top with the garlic, butter, oil, salt and pepper. Bake for twenty minutes. With a fork, crush the garlic and rub it all over the chicken. Cut the chicken in bite size pieces, and set aside..
  • While the chicken bakes, make the Herby Ranch Sauce: Simply combine all the ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth.
  • Next, make the Buffalo Sauce: In a three-quart saucepan melt the butter on low heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in the chopped chicken.
  • When the dough cycle ends, preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and add the pizza stones if you're using them. On a floured board, divide the dough into two balls.
  • Line your pizza peels or baking sheets with parchment paper, and using your fingers press each ball of dough into a 12-inch circle on the papers. Brush each circle with olive oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise for thirty minutes.
  • Spread the pizza with the Buffalo Sauce and chicken, and then add the cheeses. Bake for fifteen minutes. Sprinkle on the chives, tomato, and red onion. Drizzle with as much of the Herby Ranch Dressing as you like.
