Spinach-Stuffed Pizza image

I had my first stuffed pizza when I attended college near Chicago. I was amazed to see pizza well over an inch thick, with topping on the inside! When I served this version to my family, there are no leftovers. -Nancy Gilmour of Sumner, Iowa

STUFFED SPINACH PIZZA PIE



Stuffed Spinach Pizza Pie image

We had a spinach stuffed pizza years ago at an Italian restaurant that was so good we were thinking about it yesterday. But it had ricotta cheese in it. so I was trying to find a recipe that didn't have ricotta cheese in it. But no one had one posted anywhere that I could find so I came up with this using tofu to replace the...

CHICAGO-STYLE STUFFED SPINACH PIZZA



Chicago-Style Stuffed Spinach Pizza image

This is my favorite pizza. It's a little work but, to me, it's worth every minute. Another recipe that I clipped years ago from the Chicago Trib. The prep time includes the dough rising time, though it may be less if you're using quick-rise yeast, which works fine with this recipe.

Time 2h1m

Yield 6 serving(s)

2 packages active dry yeast

  • Roll two-thirds of dough into a 16-inch circle; let sides overhang the pan.
  • Put the spinach mixture into center of dough; smooth evenly over the surface.
  • Roll the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle; place over the spinach filling then pinch the edges together and cut excess dough at the edges so that the bottom dough is level with the top crust.
  • Pour sauce over the dough to cover.
  • Bake until crust is golden, 20-40 minutes.
  • Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into wedges for serving.
  • Ice cold beer or root beer is great with this pizza.

SPINACH-STUFFED PIZZA PIES



Spinach-stuffed pizza pies image

Skip the takeaway and instead make this 'healthy' pizza that's rich in fibre and protein. The dough is also quick to prepare at home

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tsp rapeseed oil, plus a drop for the tins
450g wholemeal spelt flour
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
2 tsp rapeseed oil
2 onions (320g), halved and thinly sliced
320g chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
500g baby spinach
200g ricotta
2 tbsp thyme leaves
2 tbsp tomato purée mixed with 3 tbsp water
20g vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese, finely grated
few basil leaves, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and oil two 21cm loose-based shallow sandwich tins. To make the dough, tip the flour into a bowl and stir in the yeast. Pour in the 1 tsp oil and 280ml warm water, then bring together, first with a cutlery knife, then your hands, to make a soft, pliable dough. Add 20ml more water if needed. Cut into quarters and cover with a tea towel.
  • For the filling, heat the oil in a medium pan over a medium heat and fry the onions for 5 mins until they start to colour and soften. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and continue to cook, stirring frequently until cooked through. Stir in the bouillon powder and spinach, cook until wilted, then add the ricotta and thyme.
  • Take a piece of dough and roll it out so that it lines one of the sandwich tins with just a little bit of overhang. (Try not to add any extra flour when rolling if you can.) Spoon in half the filling, spread it out with the back of the spoon, then roll another piece of dough so that it fits snugly inside the tin. Fold over the overhang so that the filling is completely enclosed, then spread over half the tomato purée mixture and scatter with half the cheese. Repeat with the rest of the dough, filling and topping to make two pies, then put in a warm place for about 20 mins to prove. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden, then leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins before serving with a few leaves of basil scattered over. If you're following the Healthy Diet Plan, serve one pie between two people straightaway. Leave the other pie to cool. Will then keep chilled for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for about 12-15 mins.

DEEP-DISH SPINACH PIZZA



Deep-Dish Spinach Pizza image

My husband won a pizza contest with this pizza from Jane Brody who got it from Pizzapiazza in Lower Manhattan. He won for best tasting AND best looking pizza. Hard to believe when in competition with other cheese and meat-loaded pies. This one is full of vegetables with low-fat cheeses and homemade sauce in a whole wheat crust. Baked in a springform pan, the sides allow for an attractive design of plum tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. It's definitely worth the effort.

  • Place the remaining tomato slices in a circle in the center, alternating with the pepper slices, interspersing red and green strips; bake for 25 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly; let set 5 minutes before removing side of pan and cutting.
