Instructions

If you have a pizza stone then put it on the middle shelf and let it heat up with the oven. Preheat oven to 500ºF (260ºC).
Divide the pizza dough in half. On a lightly floured surface roll out one of the halves of dough into about a 10-inch circle. The dough should be fairly thin.
Place the dough on piece of parchment paper on top of the pizza peel. If you do not have a pizza stone/peel then prepare the dough on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Rub the olive oil and garlic over the pizza dough including the edges. Bake for 5 minutes then remove from the oven and alternate layering half of the mozzarella cheese, artichokes and spinach evenly over the pizza. Leave about 1” around the edge of the pizza for the crust.
Top with the Parmesan cheese then continue to bake until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about an additional 6 minutes.
Top with salt, pepper and half of the red pepper then cut into equal slices and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining pizza dough.
