Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness and shape, transferring it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.
Spread the Greek yogurt mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough as a base sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked spinach and garlic over the yogurt base.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the spinach and yogurt layer.
If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza for an added kick.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
