spinach and feta pizza
Garlicky, buttery crust, cheese, and spinach because green makes it healthy, right?
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough, homemade or storebought
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, minced
- 2 tsp fresh oregano, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp dried fennel
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly dust a large baking sheet with cornmeal.
- In a bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, basil, oregano, lemon zest, fennel, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Divide the dough in half. Working with one half, push, roll, and spread into a roughly 10 inch circle and set onto the baking sheet. Poke several holes all over the crust. Transfer to the oven for 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Spread half of the garlic butter mixture over the crust. Sprinkle half of the spinach, then half of the mozzarella and feta cheeses. Bake an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden in spots.
- Repeat with the second pizza crust and the remaining ingredients. Slice and serve both pies hot with fresh herbs.
