Ingredients

• 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large (minced) Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Crushed 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

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the spinach mixture, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Use a spoon to dollop small mounds of ricotta cheese across the top of the pizza.

Step 9

Season the pizza with salt and, if desired, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Spinach Garlic Pizza!
