Step 2

Shape pizza dough into a log and cut into 16 pieces. Roll pieces into balls and place around the edges of the dish. Brush with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
Step 3

Combine light cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic paste, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon into the middle of the dish.
Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until pizza dough is puffed up and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Dip can be doubled and saved for a second batch by adding another brick of cream cheese and the other ingredients, which will use an entire can of drained artichoke hearts and a full bag of baby spinach that has been cooked in the microwave and drained well and an entire 8-ounce package of shredded mozzarella.
