Ingredients

• 1 piece (12-inch round) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 cups Baby spinach
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for 5 minutes before continuing.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make handling easier.

Step 4

In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Arrange the baby spinach evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Top the pizza with grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
