Recipe Yield: Makes 2 large pizzas, serves 4 to 6
Preparation

For the pizza dough (or substitute 1 1/2 pounds of your favorite homemade or store-bought dough):
2 cups bread flour
1 cup Italian 00 flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil

For the tandoori chicken:
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tandoori spice blend
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
Salt (see Recipe Notes)
1 tablespoon neutral oil, plus extra to drizzle
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 4 whole thighs)

For the pizza:
1 medium red or yellow bell pepper
1 cup tomato sauce
1 small red onion, finely sliced
3 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Small handful fresh cilantro

Make the pizza dough: Sift the flours together into a large bowl and mix in the salt. Dissolve the yeast in the water and then add the olive oil. Make a well in the middle of the flours, and drizzle in the water-yeast-oil mixture. Bring the mixture together into a soft dough, adding a little extra water if needed.

Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface, and knead for about 7 minutes, until smooth and silky. Place in an oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours, until doubled. Alternatively, place in the fridge for a slow rise.

Marinate the chicken: Whisk together the yogurt, tandoori spice mix, lemon juice, salt (if using), and oil in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs and stir so the thighs are coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight, if possible.

When ready to make pizzas, preheat oven to 400°F (if you use a pizza stone, place it in the oven now). Place the dough and marinated chicken on the counter so they can warm to room temperature.

Place the chicken in a single layer on a grilling pan, along with the whole red pepper. Drizzle with a little neutral oil, and roast the chicken and pepper for 30 minutes, turning once, until the chicken thighs register 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Once roasted, shred the chicken. Peel the skin from the red pepper and slice it into long strips.

Increase oven temperature to 450°F.

Divide the pizza dough into two and roll out each piece into circles to your desired thickness. Place one circle on a floured pizza peel (or on top of a baking sheet), and spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. Top the pizza with the roasted red pepper, tandoori chicken, red onion, and feta cheese and slide it into the oven; bake the pizza either on top of the pizza
