As usual a little introduction about the food that I am going to cook.
Hmmm... What exactly is a white pizza?
Is it a must to have white sauce (roux made from butter and flour) as the toppings?
Even I myself wasn't sure about the real definition of it either..
So I did some extensive research on the variations.
And I found out that the only difference between a red and a white pizza is white doesn't use tomato sauce.
A white pizza can be made simply from only just cheese and herbs.

Healthy White Spinach Pizza 45 min
Since I love spinach alot, I 'll show you how to make my healthy pizza with spinach and garlic. Say no more to pizza delivery.
For this recipe I'll start straight from the toppings, if you are interested to make your own pizza base please refer to my previous post on homemade pizza dough/base
Ingredients:
1 medium-sized pizza base
3 cloves of sliced garlic
1 large bowl of fresh spinach (washed and spin-dry it if possible)
Shredded cheese - I using a combination of 3 cheeses
Mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan
3/4 tsp of Butter/Margarine
Note: No additional salt in my recipe. Both butter/margarine and cheese contain salt. They are flavourful enough to satisfy my taste buds.
Methods:
Additional info.. Do you really need a pizza stone to make a great pizza?
The answer is no. I just lay a sheet of aluminium foil on top of my baking rack with my pizza on it.
