Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried basil
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a pizza stone or baking sheet on the middle rack.
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle oregano and basil over the tomato sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Evenly distribute the feta cheese, Kalamata olives, red onion slices, grape tomatoes, baby spinach leaves, and minced garlic on top of the mozzarella.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
