Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball best pizza dough (or thin crust dough)
- 8 ounces frozen spinach
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 handful sliced red onion
- 1/2 jarred roasted red pepper (or fresh red bell pepper), diced
- 1/2 small garlic clove (1/4 teaspoon minced)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough according to your chosen recipe, allowing about 15 minutes for making and 45 minutes for resting.
- Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside, or use your pizza oven according to its instructions.
- Rinse the spinach under warm water, then squeeze out excess moisture. Combine with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, garlic powder, and oregano in a bowl.
- Mince garlic and mix it with ricotta, adding kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
- Slice the red onion thinly and dice the roasted red pepper.
- Once the oven is ready, dust your pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. Stretch the dough into a circle, and gently place it onto the peel.
- Spread the seasoned ricotta over the dough, then layer the mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, red onion, and red pepper on top.
- Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone using the pizza peel. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven) until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure the spinach is well drained to avoid a soggy pizza crust.
Feel free to customize toppings by adding your favorite vegetables or meats.
Using fresh ingredients enhances the flavor and health benefits of the pizza.
