Ingredients
- 1 ball Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
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
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it's about 12 inches in diameter.
Step 3
Place the rolled-out dough on a piece of parchment paper that can easily be transferred into the oven.
Step 4
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Add fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Spread the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 7
Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the oiled dough base.
Step 8
Top with the sautéed spinach and evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 9
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes evenly over the pizza.
Step 10
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Step 11
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 12
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve.
