White Garlic Pizza

White Garlic Pizza

A rich, no-tomato pizza built on a creamy roasted-garlic base with ricotta, mozzarella, and spinach — elegant enough for date night but easy enough for any weeknight.

⏱ 40 minServes 4American

Ingredients

  • 500 g store-bought pizza dough
  • 0.75 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp lemon zest

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
  2. 2Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook garlic 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. 3Stir ricotta with the garlic-oil mixture, salt, pepper, thyme, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. 4Quickly wilt spinach in the same skillet with remaining olive oil for 1–2 minutes; drain any liquid.
  5. 5Stretch dough to a 12-inch round on parchment and spread ricotta mixture evenly to the edges.
  6. 6Scatter mozzarella over ricotta, distribute wilted spinach on top, and finish with Parmesan.
  7. 7Bake 11–14 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is lightly blistered.
  8. 8Cool 2 minutes before slicing.

💡 Add sliced fresh mushrooms or artichoke hearts from a jar for extra flavour. Fontina cheese is a wonderful substitute for half the mozzarella if you can find it at a specialty grocer.
