Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

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

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

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

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

Alfredo Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Make Sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Assemble Pizza

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 9

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.

  3. 10

    Add Sauce

    Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the prepared Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough.

  4. 11

    Add Toppings

    Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

    Bake Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
