• 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce

• 0.5 cup Chopped bell peppers
• 0.25 cup Chopped onions
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add whole wheat flour, whey protein isolate, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly greased baking sheet. Stretch and press the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, and chopped onions evenly over the sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the toppings for added flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your high protein pizza bread as a delicious snack or meal!
