Garlic and Spinach White Pizza Recipe | Giveaway

Posted by 105 Comments

This is part of a compensated campaign with the J.M. Smucker Company. As a member of their Celebration Starters program, I receive product samples and compensation.

Pizza is one of our family’s all-time favorite foods and my go-to for weekends, movie nights and any other meal where I don’t have the time or energy to cook from scratch. Even with my son’s dairy allergy, we’ve managed to improvise and get creative with vegan cheese while keeping it healthy with whole grain crusts and fresh vegetables.

A few months ago, my new favorite pizza place opened down the street.  Their wood-fired, thin-crust artisan pizzas are some of the best I’ve tried, so I thought I’d recreate one of my favorites, a simple, vegetarian White Pizza. Mozzarella and Ricotta cheeses are complimented by fresh garlic and I like to add spinach to make myself feel better about this slightly indulgent pizza.

Garlic and Spinach White Pizza Ingredients

While it would be ideal to make pizza dough from scratch, I’ve found that I don’t usually have the time and the whole point of pizza night is that it is quick and easy.  For my latest recipe, I used Pillsbury’s Garlic & Herb Artisan Bread Mix and was able to make 4 thin-crust personal pizzas with this mix. Along with the flour mixture, these mixes include a yeast packet and all that is needed is a cup of hot water and about 10-15 minutes of prep time.

  78. The BBQ pork sliders sound so good right now. Especially with all the cold weather we have here in NY. Something warm on a cold day is the perfect idea.
