Ingredients
- 10 oz pizza dough
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce more if you like
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup black olives sliced
- 1/3 cup roasted red peppers
- handful spinach fresh
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees f/246 degrees c and place the oven rack at the lowest setting. Place a pizza stone, cast iron or steel baking tray on the oven rack.
- Place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface and press it down with your hand. Start stretching the dough with your hands. Stretch the dough out to approximately an 12 inch circle.
- Place the pizza dough on top of a sheet of parchment paper. Then place it on top of a pizza board (this will make it easy to slide it into the oven).
- Top the pizza with the sauce, oregano, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, roasted peppers, black olives and fresh spinach. Brush the edges of the pizza with the olive oil.
- Slide the pizza into the oven on the preheated oven. Bake between 6 - 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let sit for a couple of minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes
- Pizza dough - the time stated does not include the time it takes to make pizza dough. For this recipe you can use you own dough, purchased pizza dough or a purchased thin crust pizza crust.
- Pizza sauce - again, I used Homemade Marinara Sauce. But any store bought pizza sauce or marinara sauce works great. Use your favourite!
- Pizza assembly - I always like to assemble my pizza on a sheet of parchment paper placed on top of a pizza board. This makes it very easy to slide the pizza into the oven. The pizza will go in the oven on top of the parchment paper.
- Cooking the pizza - It's very important to have a preheated surface in the oven to place your pizza on top of. I can't stress this enough. It's best to use a heavy surface like a pizza stone, cast iron or baking steel. If you don't have any of those things, use a baking sheet of any kind.
