Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch size) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1.5 cups (shredded) mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
- 0.5 cup (sliced) kalamata olives
- 1 cup (fresh) baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and evenly spread it with a brush or your hands.
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the oiled dough to create the base layer of flavor.
Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese across the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, and the fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the vegetables.
Season the pizza with dried oregano and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on top for added richness and shine.
Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve immediately.
