Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch round Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
Roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for ease of moving.
Brush olive oil evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle minced garlic across the dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the base.
Top the pizza with sliced red onions, Kalamata olives, and cherry tomato halves, distributing them evenly across the surface.
Add the crumbled feta cheese over the toppings, followed by a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter the fresh baby spinach leaves over the top. Allow the residual heat to slightly wilt the spinach.
Drizzle tzatziki sauce across the pizza in thin lines for a tangy finish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
Slice into wedges and enjoy your homemade Greek pizza, packed with bold Mediterranean flavors!
