I don’t know what it is with the oven and me, I just love to use the oven. Before starting the new adventure of baking eggless cakes and muffins, I started simply with cooking store bought frozen French fries and pizzas. We prefer making them at home because we can control the amount of cheese and increase the quantity of veggies. I’ve not yet tried to make the dough myself. Recently I have also found a simple recipe to make home made pizza dough using whole wheat flour. Can’t wait to try that!
But before that a simple one to make at home with store bought ingredients. I saw this recipe in Parents Magazine a couple of months back. I wanted to try this for a long time now, but got a chance only today. You need just 4 ingredients to make this beautiful looking and tasty pie. Refrigerated pizza dough, sauce, any cheese of your choice (I used the part skim pizza blend cheese) and fresh baby spinach. This can also be considered a healthy pizza, because it requires only half a cup of cheese and has spinach. Not bad for a pizza, which has a bad reputation as greasy food. The process is also very easy, but a little messy at the end. The next time I bake it I would add some pepper powder/chilly flakes too. It was very bland for our taste. Other than that, this recipe is definitely a keeper. Kids will also enjoy doing this. Find the recipe here.
Stage 1:
Unroll the dough.
Stage 2:
Spread the pizza sauce and sprinkle half of the cheese.
Stage 3:
Top with the spinach leaves. (I used more than 1 cup, so rolling was a bit difficult)
Stage 4:
Roll the dough starting with the short end.
Stage 5:
Cut into 8 pieces and place it in a greased pie tin and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Stage 6:
Bake it for 22-25 min and indulge!

@Siri: It’s healthy one too, with just half a cup of cheese and lot of spinach. But you might want to add something to spice it up. It was a little bland. Try adding some red chili flakes.

That looks delicious. I just tried home made pizza for the first time last evening and enjoyed doing it. I doubt we can find prepared pizza dough here in Chennai, but this recipe is a keeper. Thanks very much for sharing.

Gary, thank you very much for trying the pizza. I really appreciate it. Just use half a cup of sauce and 1 cup of spinach that should work out fine.

As a pizza lover I wanted to try your new twist, or should I say twirl, idea. My first attempt nearly worked. I used a little too much sauce and that made the rolling and sectioning a little messy, and required a little more bake time. But the result was still tasty. I still have ingredients for another try, but I will cut back on the sauce (my favorite part too) next time. THANKS!
