Ingredients

Scale

Base and Dough

  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing and drizzling)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a hot environment for a crispy crust. Lightly flour your working surface and stretch or roll out your pizza dough into your desired shape on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  2. Season the Base: Brush olive oil evenly across the dough and sprinkle the minced garlic and dried oregano on top, infusing the base with aromatic notes right from the start.
  3. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Distribute a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Then scatter the chopped artichoke hearts, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach leaves evenly across the cheese, ensuring a balanced coverage.
  4. Final Seasoning: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and a light dash of red pepper flakes over the toppings, adjusting to your taste for mild heat and perfectly seasoned pizza.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, let your pizza cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes make a noticeable difference in flavor and presentation.
  • Don’t overload the toppings to avoid soggy spots and to ensure even cooking.
  • Preheat your oven fully to achieve a crispy crust.
  • Use a pizza stone or steel for better crust texture resembling professional pizza ovens.
  • Let the dough rest for 10 minutes after shaping to prevent shrinkage during baking.
