We have a new pizza place in town and we love it! They have such a wide variety of toppings to choose from to create your own pizza masterpiece. Plus they have whole wheat crust, which I love. We get the spinach, tomato and artichoke pizza and I wanted to try and re-create that at home to save a little “dough” (sorry I couldn’t help myself with the pun!) It turned out so delicious.
I tried a new method from Annie’s Eats of heating the pizza stone first and making the pizza on parchment then transferring to the stone. Let’s just say I am going to have to try and perfect that method! The pizza did not want to come off of the parchment & I used plenty of cornmeal so it wouldn’t stick but I guess I just loaded it down with toppings and made the pizza too heavy. I eventually got it to the stone but it kind of mangled the pizza. I definitely need some work on that method, haha! Maybe I need to invest in a pizza peel. I encourage you to try this method because I think when done correctly it would yield a nice crust. In the recipe below I will just put the method I normally use of prebaking the crust.
Spinach, Tomato & Artichoke Pizza
Source: Inspired by Lupi’s pizza
Ingredients:
1 batch whole wheat pizza dough
1 batch pizza sauce
Spinach
1 can artichoke hearts, drained & rinsed
1 large tomato, sliced
1 bag 2 % four cheese blend or mozzarella
1 tsp. pizza seasoning
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sprinkle a little cornmeal on a clean surface and roll out the dough, use your hands to stretch it out. Place on sprayed pizza pan and spread out to desired thinness and size.
Pre-bake dough in oven for 3-4 minutes. Add pizza sauce, cover with spinach, top with cheese. Place tomatoes & artichoke hearts on top, spaced evenly throughout. Sprinkle with pizza seasoning. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 12 minutes or so.

By reading her "tips and tricks" thing, it looks a lot like Alton Brown's method, but I thought it really helped to watch his episode on it!! If you can find it, check it out!
Yum, I'm in love with artichokes right now. It looks great!
This looks like a great pizza!
It looks like Annie baked it on the parchment on the pizza stone, so maybe that's why you had a hard time with it? I had never seen that before. I've always had a hard time getting it on and off my pizza peel, so now I'll just bake it on the parchment paper!
Thanks for all of your tips! Next time I will just try and leave it on the paper maybe:)
I've found that lightly prebaking the crust really helps…the toppings often get too heavy for the uncooked crust to support. Looks tasty, though!
I always have that problem too with the pizza. I heat the stone up in the oven then have no clue how to transfer my "dressed" pizza! I love this recipe – artichokes are great on pizza.
