Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 lb pizza dough
Vegetables
- 6 oz fresh spinach
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
Cheeses
- 8 oz mozzarella, shredded
- 6 oz block feta cheese, crumbled
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, optional
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy pizza crust.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook for about 10 minutes until they soften and become translucent. Then, add the sliced garlic and fresh spinach, cooking for a few more minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll or stretch the pizza dough out on a floured surface until it measures about 12 inches wide. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Pizza: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough. Spread shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, then evenly distribute the spinach and onion mixture on top. Finish by sprinkling the crumbled feta cheese over everything.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the mozzarella has melted completely.
- Add Fresh Dill: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh dill over the pizza for a bright and herby finish, if using. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Fresh dill is optional but adds a wonderful fresh flavor complementing the feta.
- You can substitute red onion with shallots for a milder flavor.
- Use a pizza stone if you have one for an extra-crispy base.
- Adjust salt carefully since feta and mozzarella are salty cheeses.
