Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Pan for wilting spinach
  • Pizza pan
  • Rolling pin or surface for hand stretching

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat a little olive oil in a pan, toss in crushed garlic, then spinach. Sauté 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Tip: Most of spinach's water content leaves now, so it won't release juice on pizza.
2 ✓

Squeeze excess water from spinach if needed.

Tip: Dry toppings are the secret to crispy crust.
3 ✓

Stretch pizza dough on floured surface, then place on pan.

Tip: Let dough rest at room temp before stretching so gluten strands relax and dough doesn't snap back.
4 ✓

Spread thinly with tomato sauce, salt, pepper.

Tip: 'Less is more' applies: too much sauce weighs down dough.
5 ✓

Distribute wilted spinach and crumble goat cheese over it.

Tip: Goat cheese doesn't melt like mozzarella, it browns and gets creamy inside.
6 ✓

Bake in oven preheated to 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until crust edges brown.

Tip: High heat forms crust quickly, locking in steam so inside stays soft.
7 ✓

After baking sprinkle with fresh basil and drizzle with a few drops of olive oil.

Tip: Raw olive oil at the end acts as a 'spice', highlighting flavors.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but squeeze water out very thoroughly after thawing, otherwise it soaks the pizza.
What goat cheese should I buy?
Fresh, spreadable (chèvre) type is best here, as it bakes creamy, not rubbery.
