  1. Make the dough: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour, and mix to form a dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the spinach artichoke topping: While the dough is rising, heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the spinach (if using fresh) and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. Stir in the artichokes, sautéed spinach, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Preheat your oven: If using a pizza stone, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If not, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Assemble the pizza: Punch down the dough and divide it into two portions if you want smaller pizzas or leave it as one large pizza. Roll the dough out onto a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to the pizza stone or prepared baking sheet. Spread the spinach artichoke mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Bake the pizza
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with a little olive oil. Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes and fresh basil leaves for added flavor and color.

This Spinach Artichoke Pizza is creamy, cheesy, and packed with savory goodness. It’s the perfect pizza for a special dinner or just a cozy night in. Would you like to try adding a few more ingredients, like grilled chicken or bacon, to make it even more indulgent?
