Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 3 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 12 units Basil leaves, fresh
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the pan and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Spread the crushed tomatoes evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter the sautéed spinach and garlic mixture over the tomato layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the spinach.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the entire pizza and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
