Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 45 minutes

Mix the yeast with a pinch of sugar and four tablespoons of lukewarm water. Mix in three tablespoons of flour. Put the remaining flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour the yeast mixture into the center, dust the surface with a little flour, and cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Add a teaspoon of salt and four tablespoons of olive oil to the flour and knead with about 250 ml of lukewarm water until you have a smooth dough. Knead vigorously on a baking board or work surface, then return the dough to the bowl. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for one hour until the dough has doubled in size. For the topping, wash the chicken breast fillet, cut into approximately 1 cm thick strips, and mix in a small bowl with the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Refrigerate and let stand for at least half an hour, preferably longer. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Knead the dough again vigorously on a floured surface, roll it out thinly, and place it on the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-assisted oven). Spread the dough with sour cream and sprinkle with pepper, salt, and rosemary. Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them cut-side down on the sour cream. Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and arrange them on the pizza as well. If you like, drizzle with the remaining marinade. Then sprinkle the pizza with grated Emmental cheese. Top with sliced ​​mozzarella. Place it in the oven (middle rack) and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Just before the pizza is done, pick the basil leaves and roughly chop them. Sprinkle the hot pizza with the basil and serve. Notes: This pizza tastes best with a thin crust; otherwise, it may be a bit dry. If you have leftover dough, you can make pizza rolls. Lazy people and those in a hurry can replace the homemade yeast dough with store-bought pizza dough or (insider tip!) with flour tortillas.
