Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Strong bread flour
- 30 grams Whey protein isolate
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 8 grams Salt
- 230 milliliters Warm water
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 300 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 150 grams Chicken breast, cooked and diced
- 50 grams Turkey pepperoni slices
- 200 milliliters Marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, whey protein isolate, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Add 230 milliliters of warm water and 15 milliliters of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
Grease a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan with the remaining olive oil, ensuring the bottom and sides are well-coated.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared pan. Gently stretch and press the dough to cover the bottom evenly.
Layer the mozzarella cheese over the dough, spreading it to the edges to achieve the classic crispy cheese crust.
Evenly distribute the cooked diced chicken breast and turkey pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
Spoon the marinara sauce over the toppings, creating lines or stripes across the top without fully covering the cheese.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried basil over the sauce.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are crispy and browned.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing, then serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed Detroit-style pizza!
