Instructions
Creating Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza is a delightful experience. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect pizza:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Roast the Garlic: Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
3. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Mix the Cheese: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Spread the Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
6. Add Spinach: Scatter the chopped spinach over the cheese mixture.
7. Squeeze the Roasted Garlic: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and distribute them evenly on the pizza.
8. Add Remaining Cheese: Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
9. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top for added flavor.
10. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
11. Add Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
12. Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
