Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until evenly browned. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until just wilted. Remove from the heat.
Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and place it on the prepared baking tray.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the meat and spinach mixture evenly across the pizza.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
