Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Pizza Base

  • 12 oz whole wheat pizza dough

Vegetable Topping

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 14 oz marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

Cheese Mixture

  • 4 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded divided
  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to create a crispy pizza crust.
  • Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter, creating an even base for your toppings.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is heated through.
  • In a bowl, mix the softened low-fat cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the shredded mozzarella until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the prepared dough. Distribute the sautéed spinach and artichokes on top, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan evenly over the pizza. Optionally, sprinkle dried oregano on top.
  • Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Notes

Ensure the spinach is well-drained before sautéing to prevent soggy pizza. You can substitute fresh mozzarella for part-skim mozzarella for a richer flavor. For a crispier crust, consider pre-baking the dough for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings. Adjust salt and pepper according to taste and dietary needs.
