For the Dough:

Instant yeast: 0.3–0.4 oz (8–10 g)
Flour: 8.8–9.9 oz (250–280 g)

Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Milk: 5.1 fl oz (150 ml)
Onion: 1
Flour: 1 tablespoon
Salt: to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine half of the flour with yeast, salt, and sugar.
   • Add the warm water and olive oil, mixing well.
   • Gradually incorporate the remaining flour until a soft, elastic dough forms. You may not need all the flour, so adjust as needed.
   • Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Chop the chicken, onion, and mushrooms into small pieces.
   • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken for about 5 minutes.
   • Add the onion and mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until everything is tender.
   • Pour in the milk, then stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Allow it to cool.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

   • Roll the dough into a thin circle (about 12 inches/30 cm in diameter) and transfer it to a baking tray or pizza stone.
   • Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
   • Grate the cheese and sprinkle it generously on top.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C).
   • Bake the pizza for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
