Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)
Toppings
- 1 cup canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 to 2 medium ripe fresh tomatoes, sliced
- 1 to 1.5 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
- 1 to 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (for drizzling and brushing)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Lightly drizzle olive oil on the dough and brush it evenly to create a flavorful base.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of freshly minced garlic evenly over the dough. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the garlic. Arrange the chopped artichoke hearts evenly across the surface, followed by the fresh spinach and then the sliced tomatoes, making sure each slice will have a balanced amount of toppings.
- Season and Prepare for Baking: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the toppings to enhance the flavors. If using, add grated Parmesan cheese for extra sharpness and a golden finish. Optionally, drizzle a light amount of olive oil over all the toppings for added richness and shine.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Bake until the crust is golden and crispy, the cheese melts into bubbly perfection, and the spinach wilts just right.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve hot to enjoy the fresh, balanced flavors of artichoke, tomato, and spinach in every bite.
Notes
- Use fresh tomatoes and spinach for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overload the toppings to avoid a soggy crust and ensure even baking.
- Preheat the oven properly to get a crisp crust and perfectly melted cheese.
- Drain artichoke hearts thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
- Consider brushing garlic-infused olive oil on the crust edges before baking for extra flavor.
