Between the spicy Italian sausage, hearty sautéed spinach, and piles of provolone cheese, this might just be one of the most satisfying white pies that exists.

Total Time:
1 hrs 15 mins
Yield:
6 serves

Ingredients

  • cornmeal for the pan

  • 1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 links Italian sausage, casings removed (about ¾ pound)

  • 1 small bunch spinach, thick stems removed (about 3 cups)

  • kosher salt and black pepper

  • pound thinly sliced provolone

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425º F. Sprinkle a rimmed baking sheet with the cornmeal. Shape the dough into a 14-inch circle, using this method, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  2. Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of the oil and bake until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the spinach and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing, for 1 minute.

  4. Top the partially cooked dough with the sausage mixture and cheese. Bake until the crust is crisp and the cheese has melted, 12 to 15 minutes.
