Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
- 2
Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, about 12 inches round.
- 3
Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp garlic powder.
- 4
Spread 0.5 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
- 5
Scatter 2 cups fresh spinach over the sauce; it will wilt as it bakes.
- 6
Top with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, then season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
- 7
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing.
