Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 2 cups sliced tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Prepare your work surface by lightly dusting it with flour. Gently stretch the pizza dough into a round shape, approximately 12 inches in diameter. If the dough is resistant, let it rest for a few minutes to become more pliable.
- Transfer the stretched dough onto a pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the entire surface of the dough with olive oil, ensuring an even coating.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly and arrange them evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle oregano, salt, and pepper over the tomato slices to enhance their flavor.
- Distribute the fresh spinach leaves evenly over the tomatoes, creating a vibrant green layer.
- Crumble the feta cheese generously over the spinach, ensuring an even distribution of cheese.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted and bubbling.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Slice the pizza into 6-8 wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- For an extra crispy crust, preheat your pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven before placing the pizza on it.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients – the simplicity of this recipe means each ingredient truly shines.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings; keep a balance to ensure even cooking and a crisp crust.
- Let the dough come to room temperature before stretching to make it more pliable and easier to shape.
- For added flavor, try drizzling a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the pizza just before serving.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough to make this recipe even quicker and easier.
- Experiment with different herbs like fresh basil or thyme to customize the flavor profile.
