This might’ve been the most beautiful and delicious thing I’ve ever created. I’ll keep this short so you can go make it right after you finish reading this.
This is a white pizza only for the fact that it doesn’t have tomato sauce. I used olive oil mixed with crushed garlic and Italian seasoning to spread on the dough, then topped it with spinach, bacon, chopped tomatoes and mozzarella. And if you like bacon you must make this immediately. Or if you suffer from annoying acid reflux from acidic tomato sauces, you must make this immediately. Or if you just don’t know what to make for dinner tonight, make this immediately.
White Garlic Pizza with Spinach and Bacon
Ingredients:
-
1 lb. 12 oz. pre-made pizza dough
-
8 Tbsp. mild olive oil
-
6-7 cloves crushed garlic
-
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
1/4 tsp. pepper
-
Parmesan cheese, shredded
-
10 oz. package frozen spinach, cooked, drained and chopped
-
6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
2 small tomatoes, chopped and drained
-
3/4 lb. mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2) Spread dough on a greased baking sheet, approx. 12” x 16” rectangular sheet. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Brush mixture onto dough. Top with spinach, bacon, tomatoes and sprinkle parmesan cheese. Only sprinkle a handful of mozzarella cheese on top of pizza before putting in oven.
3) Bake for 25 minutes or until crust becomes golden. Take out of oven, sprinkle remainder of mozzarella cheese, put back into the oven for 5 minutes. Take out, let rest for 5 minutes then serve.

Yuuuuuuuuum! I don’t like the red sauce so I will be doing this (or some variation) tonight! Have you done the “artisan bread in 5 minutes” thing? It makes a fantastic pizza dough into which you can incorporate whatever herbs you like into the crust. Give it a go, I think you’ll dig it!

Candy, I like how you’ve so matter of factly stated the “With bacon. ofcourse” part. That just made me click through from my reader!
Awesome, of course I am huge fan of this!!
Summer – I haven’t heard of that artisan bread in 5 minutes, so I’ll hafta check it out. Thanks!
Purple Foodie – Well, of course it’s with bacon. If there’s any way to incorporate bacon into a food I will find a way. :P
Superstud – Surprise surprise! Hehe…
We love making pizza at our house and I’ve been searching everywhere for something other than pizza sauce to put on it! My other go-to recipe is BBQ chicken pizza but that’s getting a bit old too. I love the idea of a white pizza with olive oil sauce and fresh ingredients! I might have to sub chopped ham instead of bacon though since we don’t have any in the house but I’m sure it’ll taste great too!
Cookie – I had chopped ham in the fridge I was planning on using too! But I also had bacon…hehe
Your pizza look absolutely delicious, will try this at some stage, but without the bacon LOL

Deb – But I stated bacon in the title so matter-of-factly… :P
