Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.75 cup Silken tofu
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Dairy-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven at this time to heat up as well.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked spinach to the blender and pulse a few times until the spinach is incorporated but still has some texture.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel or a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Spread the creamy spinach mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Top with chopped artichoke hearts and sprinkle with shredded dairy-free mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat, if desired.
Transfer the pizza to the oven, either directly on the pizza stone or on the baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Creamy Spinach Pizza Slice!
