This vegan spinach artichoke pizza starts with homemade pizza dough, baked with a creamy garlicky cheese sauce, marinated artichokes, and wilted spinach. Once the dough has puffed up and becomes golden. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle over chilli flakes, slice and enjoy!
1pound store bought or homemade pizza dough (my pizza dough recipe is linked in the notes!)
2–4 tbsp vegan cream cheese (optional)
chilli flakes (optional )
Instructions
Preheat oven to 218°C/425°F
Wilting the Spinach: Heat pan, add in spinach, cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes or until it wilts and all of the water has evaporated. Transfer into a bowl.
White sauce: Heat oil in the same pan, add the garlic and cook for just under a minute. Add in the dried basil and dried oregano. Cook for another 30 seconds. Add in the flour, cook for a few seconds, then slowly add in the oat milk, while continuously stirring. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes or until thickened. Add in the vegan cheese and salt. Cook until all the cheese has melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Assembly: Divide pizza dough in half. Drizzle olive oil over the baking trays. Using your fingers, stretch out the pizza dough until it's pretty thin. Repeat for the second pizza. Top both pizzas with the cheesy white sauce. Fold over the ends of the pizza dough (as if you were making a stuffed crust pizza). Then, add the spinach, artichoke and vegan cream cheese. Bake for 10 minutes. Rotate. Bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
