Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 oz) Dairy-free pizza dough
- 4 cups (loosely packed) Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cups Dairy-free pizza sauce
- 1 cup Dairy-free shredded cheese (mozzarella-style preferred)
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the dairy-free pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, and sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Transfer the prepared pizza dough onto parchment paper and then onto the hot surface.
Spread the dairy-free pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.
Sprinkle the dairy-free shredded cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the sautéed spinach over the cheese layer, followed by the cherry tomato halves.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza.
Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 3-5 minutes.
Top with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice, and serve immediately.
