Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then remove from heat and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top the pizza with the cooked spinach, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the spinach.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
