Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups high-protein flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 medium chicken breast pieces, about 12 ounces total, cooked and sliced
- 3/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 to 6 fresh basil leaves, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking sheet or prepare a pizza stone.
- In a mixing bowl, combine high-protein flour, instant yeast, warm water, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Roll or stretch the dough into a 12 inch circle and place onto the prepared baking surface.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Top with sliced cooked chicken, sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then add parmesan and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and top with sliced fresh basil.
- Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.
Notes
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing to help the cheese set properly.
- Brush the crust edges lightly with olive oil before baking for extra golden color.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and melt quality.
