Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 12 inches diameter) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 small (minced) Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 0.25 cup (pitted and sliced) Kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup (loosely packed) Baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 10 leaves (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.

Step 3

Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and evenly distribute the minced garlic over the surface.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 6

Arrange the sliced red onions, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced Kalamata olives on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Distribute the baby spinach leaves across the pizza, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings. Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the pizza.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone if using) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with the chopped fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
