Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base and Oils
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Sesame oil or to taste
- 12 inch Pre-baked pizza crust
Vegetables
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, rinsed and dried
- 1 cup Sliced fresh mushrooms
Cheese
- 8 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the pizza.
- Prepare the crust: Place the 12 inch pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet to create your pizza base.
- Brush oils: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and sesame oil. Brush this mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza crust to add flavor and help crisp it.
- Layer spinach: Cut the fresh spinach leaves lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Scatter the spinach evenly over the oiled crust to create a fresh leafy layer.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the spinach, then layer the sliced mushrooms on top.
- Bake the pizza: Bake the assembled pizza in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the crust become crispy.
Notes
- Using a pre-baked crust saves time and ensures the base is crispy.
- You can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like provolone or cheddar for different flavors.
- For a stronger sesame flavor, increase the sesame oil slightly but be cautious as it can be overpowering.
- To make it vegan, replace mozzarella with vegan cheese alternatives.
- Make sure to dry the spinach well to avoid soggy crust.
