Ingredients

• 1 package (makes a single 12-inch crust) Gluten-free pizza crust mix
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Egg
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven according to the gluten-free pizza crust mix instructions (usually around 425°F/220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, prepare the gluten-free pizza dough according to the package instructions. Typically, you will need to combine the mix with water, olive oil, and an egg. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Step 3

Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone, shaping it into a 12-inch circle. Use moist hands to prevent sticking if necessary. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes to partially cook it.

Step 4

While the crust bakes, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Spread the ricotta cheese over the pre-baked crust as the base layer, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Top the ricotta with the cooked spinach mixture, spreading it evenly over the pizza.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the spinach layer.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes. Slice into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your gluten-free spinach pizza!
