Get your greens and pizza fix all at once with this spinach pizza! Ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese make for a creamy pie everyone will love.

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ball Best Pizza Dough (or Thin Crust Dough)
8 ounces frozen spinach
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
1 handful sliced red onion
1/2 jarred roasted red pepper (or fresh red bell pepper), diced
1/2 small garlic clove (1/4 teaspoon minced)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Follow the Best Pizza Dough or Thin Crust Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
  • Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here's the pizza oven we use).
  • Run the spinach under warm water in a strainer, then squeeze out as much water as possible so that it has a dry, crumbly texture. Mix it in a bowl with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, the garlic powder and the oregano.
  • Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta with the kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and minced garlic. Thinly slice the red onion, and dice the roasted red pepper.
  • When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
  • Spread the seasoned ricotta onto the dough. Top with the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach, red onion, and red pepper.
  • Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven). Slice into pieces and serve immediately.

SPINACH PIZZA



Spinach Pizza image

A delicious change of pizza toppings. This pizza has a spinach and tomato base with ground beef or, perferably, vegetarian ground beef, topped with cheese. The crust is a multigrain crust that is crispy and stands up to the moist toppings. Spinach originated in the Middle East.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess moisture before using it.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach wilts quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in spinach pizza, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta are all good choices.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to spinach, you can add a variety of other toppings to your pizza, such as mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: Spinach pizza should be baked at a high temperature so that the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Spinach pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of fresh spinach, melted cheese, and crispy crust, spinach pizza is a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spinach pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
