Notes

This recipe makes 9 to 10 muffins or one large 10 inch pizza.
The amounts for sauce , toppings and cheese are approximate. You can alter according to your tastes.
If you want to make a pizza , roll the dough out to a 1/2 inch thick circle . Rest of the prep remains same . Bake for 20 minutes or so, until edge is golden brown and cheese is melting.
While making the dough, add up to 1/4 cup more flour if the dough appears too wet .
To cook chicken for toppings, just season chicken shredded or chopped into small pieces with salt and pepper. Saute quickly in a pan.
My measuring cup is 240 ml.
