Instructions

In a bowl, combine yogurt, tomato paste, oil, and all spices. Add the chicken strips and mix well until fully coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer for deeper flavor).Cook the chicken in a hot pan until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Mix passata with salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, basil, and a pinch of sugar. Stir until combined.

Preheat oven to 220°C (top & bottom heat).

If possible, place a pizza stone in the oven while preheating. Preheating the stone helps create a crispier bottom crust and more even baking.

Roll out the XXL pizza dough onto baking paper. Spread the seasoned tomato sauce evenly over the base. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly on top.

Finish with the remaining mozzarella over the chicken. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (or bake on a tray if you don’t have one). Bake for about 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, water, and spices until smooth and creamy.

Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce.

Slice and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Marinate Chicken for Maximum Flavor 🧂
Marinate your chicken breast in the spice blend (cumin, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder) mixed with oil for at least 2 hours before cooking to ensure deep, penetrating döner flavors throughout the meat.
Pre-Crisp Your Pizza Dough 🔥
Brush the XL dough with oil and pre-bake for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings to prevent a soggy crust and achieve that signature crispy döner pizza base.
Bloom Your Spices in Oil First 🌶️
Heat your oil with the dried spices (mint, oregano, cumin, paprika) for 1-2 minutes before coating the chicken—this releases essential oils and intensifies the authentic döner flavor exponentially.
Balance Yogurt Sauce Acidity ⚖️
Mix Greek yogurt with mayonnaise (not just yogurt alone) to prevent the sauce from becoming too tangy, then add a pinch of sugar to balance flavors and create that creamy, restaurant-quality consistency.
Layer Sauce Strategically 🎯
Spread tomato sauce on the pre-crisped dough first, add cheese and chicken, then drizzle yogurt sauce in the final 2 minutes of baking to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out in the oven.
