Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
On a clean, floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Gently place it into a greased 9-inch pie dish, allowing the edges to hang slightly over the sides. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until smooth.
Add the cooled spinach mixture to the cheese blend and stir until evenly combined.
Spoon the spinach-cheese mixture into the prepared pizza dough in the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top. If desired, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Fold the overhanging edges of the pizza dough inward, partially covering the filling to create a rustic crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top.
Remove from the oven and let the Spinach Pizza Pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
