Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 pieces ripe tomatoes (sliced thinly)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.333 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the oil, distributing it evenly.
In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Layer the sliced tomatoes evenly over the dough. Top with the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, thyme, and red chili flakes (if desired) over the toppings for added flavor.
Finish by sprinkling the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
