A while back I made Pulled Pork Sliders with Sriracha BBQ Sauce for a dinner party we were hosting - a big time favorite in our house! The homemade barbecue sauce is so good, there was no way I was going to let any of it go to waste! So when I realized there was some leftover, I immediately knew a pizza was in the dinner forecast!

Unless you have a brick oven pizza oven in your backyard (in which case, I'm coming over to your house), the next best affordable option, is a pizza stone. Even still, pizza stones can get a little pricy. A nice alternative is to purchase several terra-cotta tiles from the hardware store. These tiles are thinner and more prone to cracking, but they're an inexpensive option. You may also use a good ol' baking sheet too, just know that your cook time will increase.

Cooking on a pizza stone does two things. One, they absorb the heat from the oven allowing for even cooking. Two, the porous material of the stone causes moisture from the dough to be absorbed, leaving you with an extra crispy crust. You may have noticed that I have baked the pizza with a piece of parchment paper between the stone and the pizza. Personally, I like my crust to be lightly crisp with a bit of chewiness. I've found that the parchment paper is thin enough to still allow for even high-heat cooking from the stone, but it prevents excess moisture loss - giving me the desired crust texture. Plus, it's just plain easier than having to slide an uncooked pizza from one substrate to another.

If you like you're pizza on the crispier side, I still recommend assembling the pizza on parchment paper and start the cooking process on the stone with the use of the paper. Approximately 4 minutes in the dough on the bottom should be firm enough to easily slide the paper out from under the pizza. The pizza will then have enough time to get extra crispy on the bottom, if that's what you prefer.

Sriracha BBQ Chicken Pizza

sriracha bbq sauce

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra for brushing

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound refrigerated pizza dough (preferably not the kind that's in a can) *see note below

1 cup smoked gouda, shredded

8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

2 scallions, thinly sliced

fresh cilantro, garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (this is for the chicken). Place a pizza stone or extra baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and allow it to heat up (this is what you'll actually cook the pizza on). If the pizza dough is in the refrigerator, place it on the counter now to bring to room temperature.

2. If you haven't done so already, make the sriracha bbq sauce.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Lightly pound the chicken breasts, just to even them out. Liberally season both sides with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side. (This is just to brown the outside, not to cook it all the way through). Place the browned chicken breasts on the baking sheet and baste both sides with the sriracha bbq sauce. Place on the middle rack of the oven. Baste and turn the breasts every two minutes, for about 10 minutes total, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. (The chicken will continue to cook once you pull it out of the oven. Plus, it will cook a bit more once on the pizza). Cover with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Shred the chicken and pour ¼ cup of the sriracha bbq sauce over the top. Toss to coat.

4. Increase the oven's heat to 500 degrees F. And move the pizza stone or baking sheet to the middle rack.

5. Cut the ball of dough in half. Working with one half at a time, wrap the unused portion in plastic wrap, for later use. Roll out the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper (you'll use this to transfer the pizza to the oven). Roll out to ¼-inch thickness, approximately 10 inches in diameter.

6. Brush olive oil just around the rim of the pizza dough. Then spread a some of the bbq sauce over the rest of the pizza, like you would if it were tomato sauce. Evenly spread ½ of the smoked gouda, mozzarella, and scallions over the top. Finally, add the shredded chicken.

7. Carefully move the pizza to the oven, using the parchment paper. Place the pizza (including the parchment paper) on to the pizza stone or baking sheet. If using a stone, cook for 8-9 minutes, until the cheeses are melted and the crust is lightly browned. If you're using a baking sheet cook for 10-15 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven top with torn cilantro. Slice and serve immediately. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough, or save for another time. Enjoy!

Having spent considerable time over the past months analyzing the distribution of a number of strangely juxtaposed social phenomenon (ranging from religion to bars), today's map should come as no surprise to anyone. After all, isn't the comparison between the number of user generated references to "pizza", "guns" or "strip club" an obvious one to make? Perhaps not, but we're doing it anyway.

To our knowledge this is the first time that this particular set of fractures within American society have been mapped. And it is likely to be the last time as well, so don't blink.

The Great American "Pizza" Map

The map reveals that America seems to be largely pro-pizza with the red dots of pizza spreading across the landscape (the Midwest and Northeast seem particularly well endowed) like a rich and robust tomato sauce. Perhaps there is something after all that everyone can agree upon. (Although the unity behind pizza would likely break down over a fight between "New York" and "Chicago" styles.)
Moreover, there are a number of clusters -- represented by green dots - with more references to guns than pizza. We're not quite sure what life there is like (as we live in a particularly large swath of sauce) but it does give one pause for thought. Are these patches of green olives? Peppers? Jalapeños? Pesto? In any cases, these clusters are predominately rural areas - where apparently there are more guns than pizza.

Lastly one sees a few scattered locations where strip clubs are more popular (we're looking at you Las Vegas) than either guns or pizza. Much like the token scattering of pineapple that one is forced to endure on pizza (there's always one person who suggests it!), strip clubs represents a decidedly marginal activity in the aggregation of human experience illustrated in this map.

In any case, this post has made us hungry so we're off to grab a slice.

There are many different techniques for preparing dough, most largely dependent on the type of crust you've decided to make. Because pizza crusts almost always contain yeast they must be allowed to rise at least once, though some recipes recommend improving the flavor and texture of the dough by allowing the crust to rise 2 separate times.

As soon as I read about cricket flour, I knew I had to try it. The pros seemed endless: calcium, B12, iron and almost 13 grams of protein per 100 grams of crickets! It seemed almost too good to be true, and for a while it was. Living in the Czech Republic, where eating insects is technically illegal, purchasing the flour was much harder than expected.

My search started on Amazon, my go-to for buying whatever isn't available in Czech stores. After carefully picking out several different kinds of flour and finding a great deal on shipping, I discovered that Amazon couldn't ship edible insect products to Prague. Frustrated, I searched for other options and came across a list of edible insect companies.

I found several websites that sold cricket flour at its standard high price. While I was prepared to pay a steep price for an amazing new product, I wasn't ready to pay 20 to 36 euros in shipping costs on top of it. Deciding to take advantage of my international connections, I contacted my friends in the UK, the Netherlands and Norway to see if they could mail me the products if I had them delivered to their address.

While this cut the costs by several euros, shipping fees were still high because most of the stores were online-only: domestic shipping and ordering several kilos would add up. I had clicked on almost every website on the list and was about to give up when I discovered Crunchy Critters.

Their slogan, "Face the Fear, Forge the Fashion, Feed the Future" was almost as impressive as their prices and for just £12 I got 100 grams of cricket flour shipped right to my doorstep! It wasn't the amount of I wanted, but it was the only affordable option.

Now that I had the flour, I had to pick a recipe - and there were many to choose from. Tortillas and pancakes were tempting, but I couldn't resist a cricket flour pizza (with cricket toppings!). The slightly intimidating ingredients and my lack of culinary skills called for reinforcement. I found a recipe online and put my boyfriend to work.

The cricket flour has a dark colour, thick texture and a distinct smell that was neither good nor bad. With slightly less cricket powder than the recipe called for, we decided to use a bit more bread flour. Skipping honey to avoid the calories, we mixed the flour in a bowl with salt, garlic, water, and yeast.

While my boyfriend kneaded the dough, I poured 15 grams of crickets on the counter and pulled all their legs and wings off. Since freeze-dried crickets tend to be slightly flavourless I decided to improvise and soak the crickets in lemon juice and garlic.

Once the dough rose, we realised it was too much for our pizza plate. We split it in two, and even just half of the dough made a nice 0.5 cm crust. Before doing anything else, the crust goes into the oven for 10 minutes at 175°C to harden it. We took it out and covered it with one and a half cans of tomato purée, small slices of a large mozzarella ball and half of the marinated crickets. 10 minutes more in the oven, and the room was filled with a delicious smell of fresh homemade pizza.

We took our beautiful pizza out of the oven and slathered it in garlic and oregano. Impatiently, we cut it into slices and realised that the crust was a bit too soft. After letting it cool down for a few minutes, it hardened and finally looked and tasted like real pizza. If we hadn't added the cricket toppings, no one could have guessed that it contained hundreds of ground crickets in its crust.

Don't soak the crickets for too long: it can be off-putting even to seasoned bug-eaters.

It was easy and didn't take long, but there are definitely few things to look out for before attempting to make a cricket pizza. If you soak the crickets to use as toppings, don't keep them in the lemon juice too long: it makes the crickets feel soft even after baking which can be off-putting even to seasoned bug-eaters. Also, the original recipe called for baking flour but we used bread flour instead. It worked for us but it is tricky to as a different flour can completely alter the recipe.

I got a lot of interesting reactions when I uploaded the photo to Facebook. I avoided mentioning the crickets and just said it was homemade pizza. There were many comments about how yummy it looked. It wasn't until someone asked what the toppings were that the truth was revealed...

I will definitely buy cricket flour again when it becomes readily available and more affordable. It tasted great and is a hundred times healthier than regular flour. Pancakes will definitely be my next challenge, and this time I won't be using crickets as toppings. Ground insects are definitely the best way to get even the most squeamish of people to give entomophagy a chance.
