Preparing the dough
- Remove the dough from the fridge and leave to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Knead the dough again for 3 minutes. Divide into two equal parts and shape into balls.
- Place the dough on a generously floured work surface, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and leave to rise at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
- Place each ball of dough on a generously floured work surface and, using your fingers, stretch it first in all directions, then into a round or square shape, as you wish. Transfer the dough to an oiled baking tray.
Assembling the pizza
- Preheat oven to 500 °F.
- Place the ricotta, lemon zest and juice in a bowl, followed by the chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Spread the ricotta mixture over the dough, then top with the sliced tomato, roasted peppers, shredded chicken, other toppings of your choice and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Cut the pizza and serve.
