Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 14 oz) Pizza dough
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the spinach with salt and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Once warm, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
Dust your working surface with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking. Stretch the pizza dough to a 12-inch round.
Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, which will make placing it in the oven easier.
Spread the creamy Parmesan sauce over the stretched pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Distribute the cooked spinach evenly over the sauce-topped dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the spinach.
With the help of the parchment paper, slide the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your creamy spinach pizza slices!
