Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Whey protein isolate
- 7 grams Fast-action yeast
- 160 milliliters Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 200 grams Tomato sauce
- 125 grams Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 150 grams Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 50 grams Spinach leaves
- 10 Basil leaves, fresh
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, whey protein isolate, yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in warm water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F) with a baking stone or sheet inside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove air. Transfer it to a floured surface and roll it out to a 10-inch circle.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Tear fresh mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute evenly over the sauce.
Top with shredded chicken breast and spinach leaves.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Slice and serve hot, enjoying your high protein, homemade Neapolitan pizza.
