Instructions
Prep: Make sure to thaw your dough according to the package directions, and give it the 2 hour rise at room temp. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast iron pan with nonstick spray. (You can also use any pan or baking dish of similar size.)
Assemble the Pizza: Place your pizza dough in the prepared pan and stretch and press it out to fill the pan. This doesn't need to be perfect. Spread the garlic herb cheese spread on evenly - this is in place of a traditional sauce. Next, add the cheese, leaving behind a bit for the end. Then, scatter on a few artichoke hearts (you can chop them a bit so they're smaller, if you like). Add a sprinkle of torn, fresh spinach leaves. Sprinkle the bit of reserved cheese on top, with a sprinkle of black pepper.
Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes. The edges will be golden brown and crisp.
Serve + Store: To easily serve the pizza, gently tip the pan over a cutting board, and the pizza should slide out. You can also use a flipper to help slide it out. Slice and serve with a sprinkle of parmesan, if desired. This is best fresh from the oven, but leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
