Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes until smooth.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) and grease a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly to fit the pan using your fingertips.
Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the dough's surface.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the ricotta.
Lay the slices of mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface.
Distribute the shredded chicken and chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the cheese.
Sprinkle fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt over the toppings.
Drizzle remaining olive oil over the pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your high-protein Grandma Pizza!
