Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-14 oz) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 cups (loosely packed) Baby spinach
- 1 cup (sliced, any variety like cremini or button) Mushrooms
- 1 small (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 4 ounces (crumbled) Goat cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal or flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you are using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with cornmeal or flour and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough as the base layer.
Top the pizza with the cooked spinach, sliced mushrooms, and red onions, spreading them out evenly.
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese across the pizza, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Season the pizza with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if using.
Transfer the pizza to the oven (onto the pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
