FAQs

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Fresh spinach works best for this recipe, but if using frozen, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all excess moisture before adding to the pizza to prevent sogginess.

What type of mushrooms work best?

Common white button or cremini mushrooms are ideal for their mild flavor and texture, but you can also experiment with shiitake or portobello slices for a richer taste.
