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.

CREAMY SPINACH ARTICHOKE PIZZA RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Creamy Spinach Artichoke Pizza Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by á-25010

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients
DOUGH
2 cups all-purpose flour $0.30
1 tsp salt $0.05
1/8 tsp instant or bread machine yeast $0.02
1 Tbsp olive oil $0.16
3/4 to 1 cup water $0.00
CREAMY SPINACH SAUCE
1/2 lb. frozen chopped spinach $0.85
1 Tbsp butter $0.10
1 clove garlic $0.08
4 oz. cream cheese $1.00
1/2 cup milk $0.19
1/4 tsp salt $0.02
PIZZA
1 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.02
1/2 15oz. can artichoke hearts $1.30
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional) $0.05
1 cup shredded mozzarella $1.00

Steps:

  • Instructions 1.Begin the dough the night before. In a large bowl stir together the flour, salt, and yeast. Combine the olive oil and ¾ cup water, then pour it into the bowl with the flour. Stir until a single (slightly wet and sticky) ball of dough forms with no dry flour left on the bottom of the bowl. Add one to two tablespoons more of water, if needed, to form a ball of dough. Loosely cover the dough and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours. 2.The next day let the spinach thaw and then squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and pour 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil into a 10 or 12-inch cast iron skillet. Spread the oil around the skillet, including up the side walls. 3.To make the sauce, mince the garlic and add it to a small pot along with the butter. Sauté the butter and garlic for 1-2 minutes over medium-low heat, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Add the cream cheese, milk, and salt to the butter and garlic. Whisk and cook over medium-low heat until the cream cheese has melted into the milk and a thick sauce forms (3-5 minutes). Finally, stir the squeeze-dried spinach into the sauce, breaking up any clumps as you stir. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside. 4.Use the excess oil from the skillet to coat your hands, then scrape the fermented dough out of the bowl. Gently press and stretch the loose dough into the skillet until it evenly covers the bottom. 5.Spread the creamy spinach sauce over the dough, covering from edge to edge. Drain the artichoke hearts, give them a rough chop, then sprinkle over the creamy spinach sauce. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Finally, top the pizza with the shredded mozzarella. 6.Bake the pizza in the fully preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are sizzling and the top is golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and slide a butter knife around the edges to loosen any melted cheese. Either slide the whole pizza onto a cutting board or carefully slice the pizza in the pan. Cut into six slices and serve.

This is an awesomely easy pizza that I threw together one night when I was craving pizza but didn't want the red sauce. I usually cook extra chicken breasts in garlic and olive oil and this is what I use for this pizza. You can also use Perdue Short-Cuts and add mushrooms, bacon or roasted tomatoes. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat it in the oven before adding the pizza.
  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor. If using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out the excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still have some bite to it.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make it soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Creamy spinach pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give creamy spinach pizza a try.
