Ghanaian style spiced chicken pizza
This pizza combines the vibrant flavours of Ghana with Italian basics. The essence of 'Ghanaian Style' lies in the boldness of the seasoning: the heat of ginger and the sweetness of paprika meet on the grilled chicken. The freshness of coriander at the end is like a cooling breeze on a hot African day.

Instructions
1
✓
Make the dough from the flour, water, yeast and salt. Leave to prove for 1 hour.
Tip: The dough is good if it slowly springs back when pressed with a finger (elastic gluten network).
2
✓
Toss the chicken breast strips in the spice mix and a little oil, then grill until cooked.
Tip: The roasting of spices (heat effect) creates new flavour compounds, making aromas more intense.
3
✓
Roll out the dough, spread with the sauce, scatter with the cheese, then place the spiced chicken and onion slices on top.
Tip: It is worth putting the cheese under the toppings to fix them to the dough like 'glue'.
4
✓
Bake at 220°C for 12-15 minutes, until the edge of the dough blisters and browns.
Tip: A hot oven is essential for the sudden rise of the dough and a crispy bottom.
5
✓
Before serving, sprinkle generously with fresh coriander and drizzle with a little oil.
Tip: Never cook fresh herbs, as they turn black and lose their flavour.
