Yield Makes four 12-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 10

Martha's Pizza Dough
4 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
2 ounces young pecorino cheese, finely grated
8 ounces buffalo mozzarella cheese, torn into 2-inch pieces
6 ounces fresh spinach, stems removed
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh mint leaves
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 550 degrees (or highest temperature) with a pizza stone placed on lowest rack for at least 30 minutes. Top a pizza peel with parchment paper.
  • Working with one piece of dough, flatten dough into a disk that is thicker in the center than at the edges. Using your fingers, gently pull on the edges of the dough to form a 12-inch circle; dough should still be thicker in the center. Transfer dough to prepared pizza peel.
  • Top dough with one-quarter of the cheeses, spinach, and sliced garlic. Season with pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Transfer pizza along with parchment paper to pizza stone and bake until spinach is wilted and slightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Using pizza peel, remove pizza from oven and top with one-quarter of the mint. Serve with lemon wedges. Repeat process with remaining dough and toppings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely before using and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Sauté the spinach: Sautéing the spinach helps to remove excess moisture and concentrate its flavor. Be sure to cook the spinach until it is just wilted, but not overcooked.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The three cheeses used in this recipe (mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta) provide a delicious combination of flavors and textures. Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or goat cheese.
  • Don't overload the pizza: It's important to not overload the pizza with toppings, as this will make it soggy. A thin layer of each topping is all that is needed.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: Baking the pizza at a high temperature helps to create a crispy crust. Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pizza.

This spinach and three-cheese pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
