Ingredients

• 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch crust) Vegan pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Vegan tomato pizza sauce
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Vegan Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up for a crispier crust.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the vegan pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If you prefer, you can press the dough out with your hands.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if you’re using a pizza stone.

Step 4

Brush the olive oil over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Spread the vegan tomato pizza sauce evenly over the dough, avoiding the crust edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Top the pizza with fresh spinach leaves. They will wilt during baking, so it’s okay to slightly overlap them.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the spinach for added flavor.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle vegan Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy layer.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza onto the stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your vegan spinach and cheese pizza!
