Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 8 ounces) Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese (low sodium or homemade)
• 1 cup Grated low sodium mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, low sodium)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside if you have one.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into an approximately 12-inch circle. Let the dough rest while preparing the toppings.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and the cooked spinach. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Sprinkle a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared peel or sheet.

Step 7

Spread the spinach and ricotta mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the top, followed by the optional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven on the pizza stone or directly on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Cut into 8 slices and serve warm, enjoying a delicious, low-sodium pizza!
