Toppings

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pizza Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

  2. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a round shape to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Pizza

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Top with sautéed spinach, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.

  4. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 11

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle with a little olive oil, and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
