Spinach And Guanciale Pizza Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically around 250°C (482°F) or higher if possible. This will ensure a crispy pizza crust.

2. 2

   Prepare the Guanciale

   Slice the guanciale into thin strips. In a skillet over medium heat, add the guanciale and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Sauté the Spinach

   In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Pizza Base

   On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a pizza stone or baking tray lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Pizza

   Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the pizza dough. Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach over the base, followed by pieces of crispy guanciale. Tear the buffalo mozzarella into chunks and scatter them over the pizza. Finally, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top and add salted pepperberries to taste.

6. 6

   Bake the Pizza

   Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice and serve hot, enjoying the combination of flavors.
