1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic-herb seasoning blend
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
1-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast

Steps:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, seasoning blend, whole wheat flour and 2-1/4 cups bread flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes., Punch dough down; roll into a 15-in. circle. Sprinkle cornmeal over a 14-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Transfer dough to prepared pan; build up edges slightly. Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the chicken, spinach, Parmesan cheese, pepper and remaining salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until spinach is wilted., Spread sauce over crust; top with remaining ingredients. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheeses are melted.
