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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, whey protein isolate, yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 2
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in warm water and olive oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F) with a baking stone or sheet inside.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 8
Tear fresh mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute evenly over the sauce.
Step 9
Top with shredded chicken breast and spinach leaves.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 12
Slice and serve hot, enjoying your high protein, homemade Neapolitan pizza.
