Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Baby spinach, fresh
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (optional, for dusting the baking surface)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating. Alternatively, use an inverted baking sheet.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dairy-free pizza dough into your desired pizza shape (approximately 12 inches in diameter). Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Optional: Sprinkle the parchment paper with cornmeal before placing the dough on it to give the crust a slightly crispy texture.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper over the tomato sauce for added flavor.
Evenly distribute the cooked spinach over the sauce, followed by a generous topping of dairy-free mozzarella cheese.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the edges of the crust to help it brown during baking.
Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the dairy-free cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy your dairy-free spinach and cheese pizza!
