I prefer to making my own pizzas and then I can decide what type of crust and what and how much topping. This White Spinach and Three Cheese Pizza is an example of a simple white pizza; spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, pepper Jack and chicken sausage – no sauce.
Key Ingredients in this Recipe
- All-purpose flour – or bread flour
- Sugar – to activate the yeast
- Active dry yeast
- Olive oil

This time the dough is made with all-purpose flour and the topping consists of spinach, mozzarella, ricotta, cheddar cheese and chicken sausage. I put the topping straight on the unbaked dough, sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked the white pizza for approx. 10 minutes. Voila White Spinach and Three Cheese Pizza.
