Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (12-inch round) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 cups Baby spinach
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for 5 minutes before continuing.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make handling easier.
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Arrange the baby spinach evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top the pizza with grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Carefully transfer the pizza (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 and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
