Description
This spinach artichoke pizza is a creamy, cheesy twist on the classic dip, layered over a crispy golden crust. It’s rich, comforting, and perfect for an easy yet indulgent homemade meal.
Ingredients
1 pizza dough (12–14 inch)
2 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped provolone cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
6–8 canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Stretch and shape the pizza dough into a 12–14 inch circle. Place it on the prepared surface, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach until wilted. Remove, chop finely, and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and onion powder and cook for about 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until thickened into a creamy sauce. Remove from heat and stir in minced garlic and chopped spinach.
- Spread the spinach cream sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
- Sprinkle provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce.
- Distribute the artichoke hearts evenly and add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
Substitute cheeses like ricotta or fontina for different flavor profiles.
Add grilled chicken for extra protein if not strictly vegetarian.
Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes for a crispier base.
Use thawed and well-drained frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) or in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
