Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch crust) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 cup (sliced) Kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.33 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If you prefer a thicker crust, leave it slightly smaller in diameter.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the pizza dough.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Spread this sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of the edge uncovered for the crust.
Top the pizza with fresh spinach leaves, evenly distributing them across the surface.
Add the sliced red onion, red bell pepper, and kalamata olives on top of the spinach.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetables, followed by crumbled feta cheese.
Place the halved cherry tomatoes on the pizza, cut side up, for added bursts of flavor.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthy Greek pizza!
