Spinach Pizza

Ingredients:

1 ball of pizza dough
olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup white beans
parmesan cheese
4 ounces fresh spinach

Preparation:

Roll out the dough and transfer it to a floured, rimless cookie sheet or a pizza peel, if you have one. If you are using the recipe above, you'll have a 12- to 14-inch pizza. Spread a couple of teaspoons of olive oil over the dough then evenly scatter the garlic and white beans. Grate a bit of parmesan over the pizza. Toss the spinach in a large bowl with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Because it's hard to slide a heavy pizza off of a cookie sheet or peel, and because you're going to have a mound of loose spinach leaves that tend to fly off when you shake it, transfer the pizza to the hot stone before adding the spinach. Once you've transferred the pizza to oven pull out the oven rack and gently mound the spinach leaves in the center of the pizza. Close the oven and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until the crust is brown on the edges and the spinach is wilted.
