Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 cup Smoked gouda cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Baby spinach, chopped
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier maneuvering.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute.

Step 5

Spread the cooled cream sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the smoked gouda cheese across the pizza. Layer the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts evenly on top.

Step 7

Finish by sprinkling the shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

Step 8

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the gourmet smokey flavors of this unique spin on a classic pizza!
