Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 4 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional for spice) Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside the oven to heat as well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the spinach aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Spread the creamy spinach dip mixture evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges.
Top the dip with the cooked spinach, evenly distributing it across the pizza.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the spinach layer.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spinach Dip Mozzarella Pizza!
