Spinach & Artichoke Pesto Pizza


  • Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Spinach Pesto

  • 4 cups Spinach
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional if you don’t have vegan parm or want more cheese like flavor)
  • 3/4 cup nuts (any kind, I used pine nuts)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (more if needed to achieve desired consistancy)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1015 basil leaves (the more the merrier)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic

Pizza

  • 116 ounce pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups quartered & drained artichoke hearts
  • 31/2 cup vegan Follow Your Heart shredded parmesan
  • 1 cup vegan Follow Your Heart shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 510 sun dried tomatoes, chopped

If you’re going to make your own dough:


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine the yeast with warm water. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it bubbles. Add the salt, sugar, and oil and combine. Add the flour and continue to combine until you form a dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes. Turn of the oven. Place the dough in a greased bowl and allow to rise for 45 mins or more.
  2. Preheat oven for 450 degrees. Once it’s doubled in size place the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a circle. Carefully move the pizza dough to a pizza pan or pizza stone. Process all of the pesto ingredients in a food processor. Spread the pizza evenly with pesto. Top with artichokes, sun dried tomatoes. vegan mozzarella, and and vegan parmesan cheese. (for more spinach top the pizza with it too!)
  3. Place the pizza in the hot oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until pizza crust is golden and cheese is melted. Remove the pizza from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minute. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

To speed up the process: You can cook the spinach on the stove with a little olive oil, garlic, and white wine for 5-7 minutes, toss in the artichokes to get a good crisp while you flashback the pizza for 5-7 mins. Speeds up process and enhance flavors!
