Ingredients

Directions

  • Make the pizza dough according to the package directions. Let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Lightly coat 2 large baking pans with oil or line with silicone mats.
  • Spread the sliced mushrooms out in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook, without stirring, until the mushrooms start to release their liquid. Add the garlic and salt and stir. Sauté until the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach.
  • On a floured surface, divide the dough into 4 equally-sized balls. Roll or stretch one ball of dough out into an oval roughly 10 inches tall.
  • Spread ⅓ cup ricotta on one side of the oval, leaving an inch-wide border uncovered. Top with ¼ of the mushroom and spinach mixture followed by ½ cup mozzarella.
  • Paint the edges with the egg wash and fold the dough over to make a pocket. Fold up the edges to seal and paint the top with egg wash. Use a sharp knife to cut 2 to 3 slits in the top for steam to escape. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Transfer to the oiled baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and fillings.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, swapping the pans halfway. Let cool 10 minutes before serving with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
