ULTIMATE SPINACH PIZZA



Ultimate Spinach Pizza image

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.

Toppings:
2-3 cups fresh spinach, torn and stemmed
2 ripe Roma plum tomatoes
8-10 pitted black olives
1 cup diced sweet onion
6-8 Crimini mushrooms
4 tbs olive oil
