Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups (loosely packed) Baby spinach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 quarter cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Dust your work surface lightly with flour and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined pizza peel or flat baking sheet to make it easy to slide onto the hot pizza stone later. Lightly dust with cornmeal.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the pizza dough. Spread the seasoned ricotta cheese evenly across the pizza, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly over the ricotta. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza 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 cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy your Fabulous Florentine Pizza!
