Ultra-Crispy Thin-Crust Mozzarella Pizza & Spinach

Extracted Title: Thin-Crust Spinach & Mozzarella Pizza (Crispy, Homemade & Easy)

Summary: Some pizzas feel heavy. This one does not. Thin-crust spinach and mozzarella pizza delivers crisp edges, melted cheese, and bright greens without weighing you down. The crust shatters lightly. The mozzarella stretches cleanly. Meanwhile, the spinach softens just enough to stay tender without turning watery. Because the dough rolls thin, every bite balances crunch and flavor. More importantly, you control the texture. You control the toppings. You control the crisp. That control makes homemade pizza better than takeout.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce (light layer)
• 1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella, shredded
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
• Fresh cracked black pepper
• Optional: crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. First, combine warm water and yeast in a bowl.
2. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
3. Next, add flour, salt, and olive oil.
4. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
5. Then knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Because gluten development creates structure, kneading matters.
7. Afterward, cover the dough and let it rise for 60 minutes.
8. It should double in size.
9. Punch it down gently.
10. Then roll it as thin as possible on a floured surface.
11. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness.
12. The thinner the dough, the crispier the result.
13. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
14. If using a pizza stone, heat it inside the oven.
15. Brush the rolled dough lightly with olive oil.
16. Spread a thin layer of sauce.
17. Do not overload.
18. Less sauce keeps the crust crisp.
19. Next, scatter mozzarella evenly.
20. Then place spinach on top.
21. Because spinach shrinks while baking, distribute it lightly.
22. Finish with black pepper.
23. Transfer carefully to the hot oven.
24. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
25. The edges should turn golden.
26. The cheese should bubble.
27. Remove and cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
