Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Drizzle some olive oil on a baking sheet and place the pizza dough on top. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, lay the garlic cloves on top of a large sheet of aluminum foil, peels still on. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Fold the foil into a sealed packet and place it in the oven. Let it cook for about 25 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool. Peel the cloves and discard the skin.
Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Take 8 of the peeled, roasted garlic cloves and add them to a bowl. Mash with a fork, then add the ricotta, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, basil honey, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Shape the pizza crust into a 14-inch round circle. Place on the greased cookie sheet or a pizza stone. (You can also make two smaller, 8-inch pizzas.) Spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer on the crust. Top with spinach, the remaining roasted garlic cloves, and the chicken (if using). Scatter the mozzarella over the top.
Bake the pizza in the oven for about 9 to 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the crust is crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
