Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cooked chicken breast, shredded - 150 grams
• Chinese five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced - 100 grams
• Green onions, chopped - 30 grams
• Shredded mozzarella cheese - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add the whole wheat flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken by mixing it with soy sauce, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a circle about 10 inches in diameter.
7. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Spread the marinated chicken evenly over the dough, followed by the sliced bell peppers and chopped green onions.
9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
