Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups, crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.25 cups, sliced kalamata olives
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup, fresh baby spinach
- 0.5 medium, grated cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh dill
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.
Top the pizza with crumbled feta, red onion slices, kalamata olives, cherry tomato halves, and fresh baby spinach.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
While the pizza is baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Start by squeezing out any excess water from the grated cucumber using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the prepared tzatziki sauce over the pizza, or serve it on the side for dipping.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Greek pizza with a refreshing Mediterranean twist!
