This is a great healthy alternative to the local pizza shop.
White Pizza with Spinach
Ingrediants:
1 bag raw wheat pizza dough from the grocery store
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 cup thawed, chopped spinach
1/2 bag part-skin mozzarella
1 cup shredded Parmesan
1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 small jar of minced garlic
EVOO
Process:
- Take dough out, remove it from bag and place on a plate on the counter for 20-30 min to allow it to rise.
- Grease a large baking sheet with EVOO.
- Work risen dough to a large flat rectangle on the baking sheet, working it as thin as possible without holes.
- Lightly oil the dough with EVOO.
- Scoop 1/2 Tsp of minced garlic out of jar and spread on top.
- Pour the liquid from the jar all over the dough, to the amount of a couple Tsp.
- Place in a 425 degree oven for 7-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- Spread mozzarella then permesan cheese evenly on top of dough.
- Place tomato sparsely on top.
- Fill the gaps with small scoops of spinach.
- Place about 10 small scoops evenly on top of everything.
- Put back in the over on a rack near the middle for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from over when all cheese is melted and edges are lightly browned.
- Remove from baking pan and plate immediately after removing from over to keep bottom from continuing to cook.
- Slice, Serve and enjoy!!

Notes:
- I found this wheat dough to be much easier to work with. Much less sticky, and produce fewer holes.
- I found many recipes call for making a garlic sauce that uses milk or cream. I wanted to skip this for the sake of calories, and simplicity. I was going to just spread the minced garlic but when I saw all the liquid in the jar I figured it would be a great way to have the perfect amount of garlix flavor. It was strong but not jarring... PERFECT!
- Some recipes put the tomato under the cheese, but I was afraid this would let the liquid from the tomato absord into the dough making it soggy. Not ideal..... it turned out just as I had hoped this way!
