MethodPlace all ingredients except oil into a food processor Mix until chopped into very small pieces While processor is running slowly add olive oil until mixture is smooth

Pizza Dough3 cups all-purpose flour2 tsp instant yeast2 teaspoon sea salt1 cup water3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

In a food processor mix all pizza dough ingredients except olive oil until blended Slowly add olive oil until a soft dough ball forms Dough should form a ball and be slightly sticky

Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead a few times until a smooth ball is formed Place in an olive oil coated bowl covered in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size

Preheat oven to 450degF Divide dough into 3 pieces Shape each piece into a rough circle and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet Depending on the size of your pizzas you may need more than one sheet Turn up edges of pizza to form a crusty edge

Once pizzas are shaped spread about 3 tbsp of beet pesto on pizza right to the edges Add one layer of spinach leaves dollop on ricotta 1 teaspoon at a time and cover the entire pizza with mozzarella

Bake for about 10 minutes or until crust is beginning to turn golden and cheese is melted and bubbling

MethodPlace all ingredients except oil into a food processor Mix until chopped into very small pieces While processor is running slowly add olive oil until mixture is smooth

Pizza Dough3 cups all-purpose flour2 tsp instant yeast2 teaspoon sea salt1 cup water3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

In a food processor mix all pizza dough ingredients except olive oil until blended Slowly add olive oil until a soft dough ball forms Dough should form a ball and be slightly sticky

Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead a few times until a smooth ball is formed Place in an olive oil coated bowl covered in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size

Preheat oven to 450degF Divide dough into 3 pieces Shape each piece into a rough circle and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet Depending on the size of your pizzas you may need more than one sheet Turn up edges of pizza to form a crusty edge

Once pizzas are shaped spread about 3 tbsp of beet pesto on pizza right to the edges Add one layer of spinach leaves dollop on ricotta 1 teaspoon at a time and cover the entire pizza with mozzarella

Bake for about 10 minutes or until crust is beginning to turn golden and cheese is melted and bubbling

Pizza Dough3 cups all-purpose flour2 tsp instant yeast2 teaspoon sea salt1 cup water3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

In a food processor mix all pizza dough ingredients except olive oil until blended Slowly add olive oil until a soft dough ball forms Dough should form a ball and be slightly sticky

Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead a few times until a smooth ball is formed Place in an olive oil coated bowl covered in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size

Preheat oven to 450degF Divide dough into 3 pieces Shape each piece into a rough circle and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet Depending on the size of your pizzas you may need more than one sheet Turn up edges of pizza to form a crusty edge

Once pizzas are shaped spread about 3 tbsp of beet pesto on pizza right to the edges Add one layer of spinach leaves dollop on ricotta 1 teaspoon at a time and cover the entire pizza with mozzarella

Bake for about 10 minutes or until crust is beginning to turn golden and cheese is melted and bubbling

Once pizzas are shaped spread about 3 tbsp of beet pesto on pizza right to the edges Add one layer of spinach leaves dollop on ricotta 1 teaspoon at a time and cover the entire pizza with mozzarella

Pizza Dough3 cups all-purpose flour2 tsp instant yeast2 teaspoon sea salt1 cup water3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

In a food processor mix all pizza dough ingredients except olive oil until blended Slowly add olive oil until a soft dough ball forms Dough should form a ball and be slightly sticky

Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead a few times until a smooth ball is formed Place in an olive oil coated bowl covered in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size

Preheat oven to 450degF Divide dough into 3 pieces Shape each piece into a rough circle and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet Depending on the size of your pizzas you may need more than one sheet Turn up edges of pizza to form a crusty edge

Once pizzas are shaped spread about 3 tbsp of beet pesto on pizza right to the edges Add one layer of spinach leaves dollop on ricotta 1 teaspoon at a time and cover the entire pizza with mozzarella
