Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 inches diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 small (minced) Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (pitted and sliced) Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup (loosely packed) Baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 leaves (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and evenly distribute the minced garlic over the surface.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced red onions, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced Kalamata olives on top of the cheese.
Distribute the baby spinach leaves across the pizza, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings. Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone if using) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with the chopped fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
