Pizza Dough:

3/4 Cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1-1/2 Teaspoons yeast
2 Teaspoons granulated sugar
1-3/4 Cups bread flour
1 Teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 chicken breasts, pounded thin
olive oil cooking spray
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cooked thick bacon, crumbled-about 6 slices
3 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 large roma tomoates-sliced into 8 slices each
1 avocado, sliced into 16 slices.
.
Pizza Dough:
Dissolve yeast and granulated sugar in 3/4 cup warm water in a small bowl. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or until it gets foamy on top.

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a depression in the flour and pour the yeast mixture and oil into it. Stir the liquid and gradually drawing more flour in with the liquid, until you can form the dough into a ball. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, or until the texture of the dough is smooth. Coat dough with oil, cover it and let it sit in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size. Punch down the dough, cover it again and let it sit overnight in your fridge.
.
When ready to use pizza dough remove the dough from the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature to warm up. This will take about 2 hours. .
.
Place a pizza stone in your oven and crank the temperature up to 500 degrees F.
.
Divide the dough in half and rolling one-half into a 10" circle on a lightly floured surface. Place the dough onto a pizza pan or a pizza peel that will be used to slide the dough onto the hot pizza stone. Be sure to flour the pan or pizza peel liberally with flour so that the assembled pizza will slide off easily.
Bake for 9-10 minutes or until crust begins to brown.
.
Spray the pizza dough with a generous amount of olive oil spray. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on pizza dough, followed by 1/2 of the crumbled bacon and 1/2 of the chicken.
