Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

3 ounces cooked chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch strips
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ⅓ cups rolled oats
1 cup skim milk
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 egg whites
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon minced garlic
⅛ teaspoon anise seed
8 sprays olive oil cooking spray, or to taste
½ pound roma (plum) tomatoes, thinly sliced
¾ cup frozen spinach leaves, broken into small pieces
1 ounce portobello mushroom, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ ounce fresh basil leaves
1 ounce shredded Cheddar cheese (such as Cabot®), or more to taste

Steps:

Season chicken on all sides with smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a baking stone on the lowest rack in the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Process oats in a blender until powdered. Add milk, extra-virgin olive oil, egg whites, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and anise seed; blend until dough is just combined and pourable. Pour dough onto prepared baking sheet and use a spoon to spread dough into desired shape.
Spray dough with olive oil cooking spray; top with chicken strips, tomato slices, spinach, mushroom, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
Place baking sheet on the baking stone in the preheated oven and bake until chicken strips are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Top pizza with basil and cheese, close the oven door, and turn off the oven. Let pizza sit in the oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Transfer pizza on the parchment paper directly to the baking stone, cut pizza into 8 slices, and space the slices about 1-inch apart on the parchment paper. Close the oven door and let pizza sit in the oven until crust crisps and moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes more.

PIZZA CRUST STUFFED SPINACH AND SAUSAGE ROLL

Pizza Crust Stuffed Spinach and Sausage Roll image

Refrigerated pizza crusts makes this recipe easier, but you can also make this using your own pizza crust in place of the refrigerated. To save some time you can prepare the sausage/spinach filling up to a day in advance and refrigerate. When I made these I didn't shape the stuffed rolls into rings, I just left them rolled up straight and sealed the ends, that worked fine, but you can shape them into rings if desired.

Ingredients

3/4 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1/2 lb white button mushrooms, chopped (can use more if desired)
2 tablespoons oil
1 (300 g) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and hand-squeezed dry)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg yolk
salt and black pepper
2 (283 g) packages pillsbury refrigerated prepared pizza crust
1 egg white, lightly beaten

Steps:

Set oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare a large greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
In a skillet cook the sausage meat in oil until well browned.

Using a roller, roll one pizza crust into a 12 x 9-inch rectangle on a cutting board.
Spoon HALF of the sausage/spinach mixture over the dough to within 1/2-inch of the edges, spreading out the mixture evenly.
Starting with the longest side of rectangle, roll up jellyroll fashion, then press the seam together to seal.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the rolls seam-side down on a large pizza stone or greased baking sheet.
Join the ends of the rolls to form a large ring, then pinch together to seal.
Brush the dough with the egg white.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Warm pizza sauce and serve with each serving.

Tips:

For a crispy crust, use a baking stone or pizza pan. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, don't overload it with toppings.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
If you're using a pre-made sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some fresh herbs, spices, or garlic.
Don't overcook the pizza. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Spinach pizza crust is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza crust. It's easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive party appetizer, spinach pizza crust is sure to please everyone at your table.
