Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust racks to top and bottom positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.

  • Rub a large drizzle of olive oil all over the inside of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (for 4 servings, use two 8-by-8-inch baking dishes, rubbing a large drizzle of olive oil in each).

  • Place pizza dough in prepared baking dish (divide dough between prepared baking dishes for 4) and roll around to coat in oil. Cover baking dish with a clean kitchen towel; let dough rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.

2
  • While dough rests, halve tomatoes. Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces. Grate Parmesan over a small bowl.

  • Place tomatoes, cucumber, and lettuce in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use in Step 5.

3
  • In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper.

  • Pat chicken wings* dry with paper towels. (TIP: Be sure to dry the wings thoroughly—this will help them crisp up in the oven.) Place wings in bowl with cornstarch mixture and toss with a drizzle of oil (large drizzle for 4 servings) until evenly coated. 

  • Arrange wings in a single layer on wire rack on prepared baking sheet. Bake on top rack until lightly crisped and cooked through, 25-35 minutes.

4
  • Once dough has rested 30 minutes, gently press into a rough square shape. Carefully lift dough by the top two corners and let gravity stretch it; repeat with bottom two corners. Gently press again until dough is even and covers most of the baking dish.

  • Spread marinara evenly over top of dough and sprinkle with mozzarella (for 4 servings, divide ingredients evenly between two pizzas).

  • Bake pizza on bottom rack until edges are dark brown and center is cooked through, 25-30 minutes.

5
  • When wings have 5 minutes remaining, drizzle Italian dressing over bowl with salad; toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6
  • Once wings are done, place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a second medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute.

  • Add wings, remaining garlic powder, half the Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and as many chili flakes as you like to bowl with butter; toss until wings are evenly coated.

7
  • Cut pizza into six pieces.

  • Top salad with remaining Parmesan.

  • Serve pizza, wings, and salad family style with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
