Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups, crumbled Feta cheese
• 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
• 0.25 cup, pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
• 1 cup (loosely packed) Baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and 1 tablespoon of water to form a smooth sauce. Add more water if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.

Step 4

Spread the tahini sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the tahini base.

Step 6

Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives over the pizza.

Step 7

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with dried oregano for added flavor.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top it with the baby spinach leaves. The residual heat will slightly wilt the spinach.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the medley of creamy, tangy, and fresh flavors!
