Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Red pepper flakes (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Dried oregano (1 tablespoon)
  • Feta cheese (1 cup, crumbled)
  • Spinach (2 cups, fresh)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Pizza dough (1 lb)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
  2. In the meantime, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it reaches your preferred thickness. If you like a thin and crispy crust, aim for about 1/8 inch.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it's aromatic but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring frequently until it wilts, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone from the oven or prepare a baking sheet. Transfer the rolled dough onto the stone or sheet.
  6. Spread the sautéed spinach and garlic mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the spinach. Season the pizza with the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  8. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes for easier slicing. Slice into your preferred sizes and serve hot.
