Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Smoked gouda cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier maneuvering.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute.
Spread the cooled cream sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the smoked gouda cheese across the pizza. Layer the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts evenly on top.
Finish by sprinkling the shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy the gourmet smokey flavors of this unique spin on a classic pizza!
