Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.75 cup Silken tofu
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Dairy-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven at this time to heat up as well.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add the cooked spinach to the blender and pulse a few times until the spinach is incorporated but still has some texture.
Step 6
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel or a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Step 7
Spread the creamy spinach mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 8
Top with chopped artichoke hearts and sprinkle with shredded dairy-free mozzarella cheese.
Step 9
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat, if desired.
Step 10
Transfer the pizza to the oven, either directly on the pizza stone or on the baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Creamy Spinach Pizza Slice!
