Ingredients

  • batch easy whole wheat pizza dough or 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
    1
  • pizza sauce or marinara
    1 c
  • baby spinach
    2 c
  • shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
    2 c
  • jarred or canned artichoke

    cut into 1” pieces

    ½ c
  • fresh red or orange bell pepper

    cut into narrow 2″ strips

    ½ c
  • red onion

    cut into thin wedges

    ½ c
  • halved cherry tomatoes
    ½ c
  • pitted kalamata olives

    halved lengthwise

    ½ c
  • sliced almonds

    optional

    ½ c
  • optional garnishes: fresh basil

    red pepper flakes and/or finely grated parmesan cheese, small leaves or torn

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the upper third of the oven. If you’re using a baking stone or baking steel, place it on the upper rack. Prepare dough through step 5.

  2. 2

    Spread pizza sauce evenly over the two pizzas, leaving about 1 inch bare around the edges. Evenly distribute the spinach on top of the sauce, followed by the cheese (use all three cups if you want a cheesy pizza as shown here).

  3. 3

    Top the pizzas with artichoke, bell pepper, red onion, tomatoes, olives and almonds (if using).

  4. 4

    Bake pizzas individually on the top rack until the crust is golden and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes (or significantly less, if you’re using a baking stone/steel—keep an eye on it).

  5. 5

    Transfer pizzas to a cutting board and sprinkle with with fresh basil, red pepper flakes and Parmesan, if using. Slice and serve! Leftover pizza keeps well in the refrigerator for 4 days, or for several months in the freezer.
