How to Make Spinach Ricotta Pizza With Fresh Tomato Puree

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease and flour two baking sheets.
  2. Divide pizza dough (1 lb) into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin 12-inch crust.
  3. Lightly brush each crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes.
  4. While the crusts bake, grate 4 medium tomatoes (about 2 cups) into a medium bowl. If very juicy, gently drain some of the excess liquid.
  5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the grated tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a medium pan, sauté 5 oz fresh spinach with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper over medium heat until wilted. Set aside.
  7. Spread the tomato mixture evenly over both pre-baked crusts.
  8. Return the pizzas to the oven for 5 minutes to reduce excess moisture in the sauce.
  9. Top each pizza with the wilted spinach, 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped), and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Dollop 1/2 cup ricotta cheese evenly over each pizza using a spoon.
  11. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
