Ingredients
Dough
Toppings
Dough Preparation
1. Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Knead the Dough
Mix until a dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Topping Preparation
5. Prepare the Spinach
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Slice the Cheese
While the spinach cools, slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into rounds and set aside.
Pizza Assembly and Baking
7. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to its highest setting, usually around 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
8. Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions for two pizzas. Shape each portion into a round pizza base.
9. Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce over each pizza base. Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach and top with mozzarella cheese slices. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
10. Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
11. Slice and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges and serve hot.
