Flag Pizza
Ingredients
- 6 ounces part skim mozzarella cheese slices
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 frozen pizza dough, thawed
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce
- 2 plum tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise and cut into slices, 1 sliced red bell pepper or a mixture of the two
- Firecracker Grilling Seasoning and Beef Rub
Instructions
- Take two slices of mozzarella cheese and stack together. Use kitchen scissors or small knife to cut a few star shapes out of the cheese slices. Slice remaining cheese into 1-inch strips.
- Preheat oven to 450°. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Stretch pizza dough to fit a rectangular pan.
- Spread Pizza Sauce evenly over dough. Sprinkle spinach over top left corner of dough. Lay tomatoes (or peppers) and cheese strips in alternating strips on rest of the pizza.
- Bake 8 to 18 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is just beginning to brown. Place stars on the spinach and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve with Firecracker Grilling Seasoning and Beef Rub
TIP: a ready-made pizza crust may be substituted for the frozen dough if desired.
