About Spinach Bread Pizza
Spinach bread pizza is a quick, homemade version of pizza using regular bread slices instead of pizza dough. It is another variation of my bread pizza recipe. Bread pizza is one of those quick recipes you can make when you do not feel like kneading pizza dough.
Instead of preparing a base from scratch, simply top a bread slice with tomato sauce or pizza sauce, spinach, onion, cheese and seasonings and bake until the cheese melts. It is not meant to replace the traditional pizza that we all love, but it is more of a quick snack when you are pressed for time or having cheese cravings.
This kind of pizza recipe works for busy days, for after-school snacks, or as a light meal when you don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Bread Slices - Use regular white bread or brown bread slices. You can use whatever you have in hand.
Spinach - Use fresh spinach. Wash and finely chop it so it cooks evenly while baking.
Cheese - I have used mozzarella cheese in this recipe, but you can also use processed cheese, cheddar cheese, or any cheese you prefer. Mixed cheeses can also be used. Make sure you are using enough cheese to cover the spinach well.
Sauce - Pizza sauce adds a classic Italian pizza flavor and moisture. You can also replace it with tomato sauce or tomato ketchup.
Seasonings - Use dried oregano or mixed Italian herbs for a wonderful flavor. You can also sprinkle some red chili flakes to add some heat.
Onion - I have used thinly sliced onion for a slight crunch and flavor.
Garlic - Finely chopped or minced garlic gives a nice aroma. You can also swap it with garlic powder.
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Variations
Add finely chopped vegetables like capsicum / bell pepper, sweet corn, tomato or zucchini along with spinach.
You can also top spinach bread pizza with sliced olives and jalapenos.
Instead of pizza sauce or tomato ketchup, you can try pesto, alfredo or barbecue sauce for a different flavor.
How to Make Spinach Bread Pizza
Start the preparation by preheating the oven to 200 degrees C.
Peel and slice an onion into thin slices and set aside. Finely chop the washed spinach and set aside.
Peel and finely chop or mince garlic.
Arrange 4 slices of bread on a lined baking tray. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce or tomato ketchup evenly on one side of the bread slices.
Then top the bread slices with sliced onion, chopped garlic, and chopped spinach.
Sprinkle salt, ground black pepper, and oregano or any seasoning you are using.
Generously top each slice with grated cheese to cover spinach well.
Bake them in the preheated oven for about 6-9 minutes or until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread turn slightly crisp.
Once it is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle more ground black pepper or red chili flakes if needed. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.
Toasting on stovetop:
If you want to cook them on a stovetop, place the topped bread slice in a pan and cook it covered over a low flame until the cheese melts and the bottom becomes golden brown.
Tips & Notes:
- Use fresh and high quality ingredients for the best results.
- Chop spinach finely. Since it goes on raw, smaller pieces cook better. It will also sit nicely on the bread slice without falling off.
- Do not overload the toppings, as it will make the bread soggy.
- You should use enough cheese for the best pizza. Cheese holds everything together. If you don't add enough cheese, the toppings will be dry.
Serving suggestions
Bread pizzas are best served hot, straight from the oven or pan.
You can serve it as a snack with a cup of coffee or tea. It also works well for a quick breakfast or light dinner on busy days.
Storage suggestions
Spinach bread pizza is best eaten while the bread is crisp and the cheese is still soft. If there are any leftovers, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
To reheat them, place the pizzas on a pan or in an oven until warmed through.
