Ingredients
- 1 lb Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1.5 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.75 cup Low-sodium marinara sauce
- 2 tbsp Finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Step 3
Spread the low-sodium marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Step 4
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Sprinkle half of the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce on the pizza dough.
Step 6
Top the cheese layer with the sautéed spinach mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining low-fat mozzarella cheese on top of the spinach. If desired, add a sprinkle of finely grated Parmesan cheese for additional flavor.
Step 8
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat spinach and cheese pizza!
