Wet Dough Pizza
To break up the monotony of healthy food (gross, I know!) I’ve decided to alternate days that I put out a healthy recipe vs. a gluttonous one. This is a recipe for Italian street pizza or as it’s called in my household, wet dough pizza. Making a pizza from scratch can be intimidating which is why this is perfect for beginners. There’s no kneading or tossing required! You could even call this ‘pizza for dummies’ because it’s that hard to mess up. While I’m going to write the recipe for what I like to top it with, you can do it up with whatever you’d like! Pizza is a personal choice, just no pineapples, please.

Ingredients
Dough
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 T sugar
- 1 t salt
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 t yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water
Topping
- 1 package cherry tomatoes
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 4 T olive oil
- 1 t basil
- 1 t parsley
- ½ t oregano
- ¼ t salt
- ½ t pepper
- mozzarella
- ½ cup spinach
Instructions
Dough
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, olive oil, yeast, and water in a stand mixer with a dough hook. If you don't have a stand mixer you can do this by hand with a spoon, it'll will just take a little more muscle!
- Mix on low until the dough comes together. Make sure to be scraping the excess flour stuck to the side of the bowl.
- Up the speed and continue mixing for 2-3 minutes.
- Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes.
Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut your cherry tomatoes in half. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Slice your mozzarella if you're using a log or a ball.
- Cut the stems off of the spinach leaves. Set aside.
Pizza Assembly
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the dough out of the bowl it's in and onto the baking sheet. Using wet hands, spread the dough out so that it covers the baking sheet. I will attach a video of the process!
- While the dough is still wet, spread your garlic and olive oil on top using a spoon.
- Add your tomatoes, mozzarella, and spinach on top of that.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
