You might ask what does Florentine mean? It refers to a recipe that is prepared in the style of the Italian region of Florence. But another definition of Florentine means to be prepared with spinach. And that is what I think of when I think of Florentine style dishes. So, a Florentine Pizza, simply would mean a pizza with spinach. But this recipe is so much more than just pizza with a bit of spinach tossed in the mix.
Like most people, I love pizza! I also love to make my own pizza on occasion and decided to experiment with spinach and beans for a nice change of pace. This is not a traditional pizza by any means because of the topping used, but still a wonderfully delightful way of eating a healthier version. When my children and husband saw me putting spinach and beans on the pizza, they were sceptical for a good reason, and they really thought I’d lost my mind. But one slice of this pizza totally changed their view. I usually make the pizza dough at home and partly bake the base and freeze for convenience. This recipe is versatile and will work on fresh pizza base, store bought pizza base or even a naan.
Before you shrink away and think that a pizza that is actually healthy must not taste good, think again. Get your greens and pizza fix all at once with this spinach bean pizza recipe! It has got the power to change the minds of spinach haters everywhere.
It has a tender crust, topped with spinach, beans and herbs. And then finished with stretchy mellow mozzarella.
