Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Store-bought or homemade pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce (optional for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), and if using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper or a lightly greased pizza pan.
Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the top.
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Scatter the red onion slices, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and baby spinach leaves evenly across the pizza, layering the toppings as desired.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and dried oregano over the top of the other toppings.
Carefully transfer the pizza (on its parchment paper, if applicable) to the oven or onto the preheated pizza stone.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
Slice and serve your 'Going Greek Pizza' while hot. Enjoy!
