  • 250 g Gouda or mozzarella, grated

  • Garlic powder or 1 crushed garlic clove
  • some flour

Spread the prepared dough on a floured baking sheet. Cook the spinach leaves in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic. If using frozen spinach, thaw it beforehand and season as directed. Mix the crème fraîche and pesto in a 3:2 ratio. Spread the resulting pesto mixture on the pizza dough instead of tomato sauce. Spread the spinach evenly on top. Slice the cherry tomatoes and arrange them on top of the spinach. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven at approximately 200°C (top/bottom heat) for 12-15 minutes.
