Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 6 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese (part-skim)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat)
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce (low-sodium)
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir in the cooked spinach until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Divide the pizza dough into two equal parts. Roll each piece into a circle roughly 10-12 inches in diameter, using a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place one dough circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or preheated pizza stone if using). Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over this base, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Cover the filling with the second rolled-out dough circle. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal the stuffed pizza.

Step 8

Using a fork or knife, prick a few small holes in the top dough layer to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 9

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top dough layer and sprinkle with dried oregano for flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Slice into wedges and enjoy your Sinless Spinach Stuffed Pizza!
