Ingredients

• 1 bag frozen spinach
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced
• 3/4 cup white pizza sauce (see notes)
• 1 large Stone Fire 14-inch pizza crust

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, cook the frozen spinach over medium heat until all the water has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
3. Step 3: Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Evenly spread the white pizza sauce over the crust. Top with the cooked spinach and diced sun-dried tomatoes.
4. Step 4: Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding garlic or caramelized onions to the spinach before topping the pizza.
• You can substitute sun-dried tomatoes with fresh cherry tomatoes for a juicier topping.
• If you prefer, use a homemade or store-bought white sauce like béchamel or Alfredo to enhance the creaminess.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving as it may make the crust soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, you can. Just sauté fresh spinach until wilted and any excess moisture evaporates before placing it on the pizza.

What can I use as a substitute for white pizza sauce?

If you don’t have white pizza sauce, you can use ricotta cheese spread thinly, Alfredo sauce, or even a light layer of olive oil and garlic for a different but tasty base.

• Sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness that balances the creamy white sauce and spinach.
• For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or Italian herbs to the spinach while cooking.
• Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid soggy pizza crust.
