Ingredients
- 120 g Active sourdough starter
- 250 g High-protein bread flour
- 20 g Vital wheat gluten
- 30 g Whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- 180 ml Warm water
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 120 g Tomato sauce
- 150 g Shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat or regular)
- 100 g Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 50 g Baby spinach leaves
- 50 g Red onion (thinly sliced)

Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, high-protein bread flour, vital wheat gluten, and whey protein isolate.
Step 2
2. Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Step 3
3. Add olive oil and sea salt, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can do this by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Step 4
4. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
5. Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and place a pizza stone or a heavy-duty baking tray inside to heat up.
Step 6
6. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a pizza base with your hands or a rolling pin, keeping the edges slightly thicker for a crust.
Step 7
7. Transfer the shaped dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 8
8. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly across each pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 9
9. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato sauce, followed by shredded cooked chicken breast, baby spinach leaves, and red onion slices.
Step 10
10. Season the pizzas with dried oregano and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes for extra spice.
Step 11
11. Carefully slide the pizzas (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray.
Step 12
12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 13
13. Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.
Step 14
14. Enjoy your delicious high-protein sourdough pizza!
