Greek Pizza

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (1/4 ounce) package fast rising yeast
• 1 cup water (90 degrees)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 3 cups flour
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 (10 ounce) boxes frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 3 -5 fresh tomatoes, sliced
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 450°f.
• 2 make your own pizza dough (i put in the ingredients for nutritional calculation - i use steve's pizza dough), or use pre-prepared.
• 3 heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic until the onions are translucent.
• 4 add the spinach and keep cooking until all the excess moisture has evaporated (you don't want a soggy pizza!).
• 5 add the oregano, basil, salt and black pepper, mix thoroughly, and then remove from the heat.
• 6 mix in the ricotta cheese.
• 7 roll out the pizza dough fairly thinly. place into two 10-inch cast iron skillets, or one really big one (i have one i use for deep-dish pizzas - i think it's about 20 inches or so). or, you can spread the dough out in a cookie sheet. just make sure you leave a good "lip" for the edge of the crust.
• 8 using a spatula, spread the spinach-ricotta mixture over the dough in an even layer.
• 9 arrange the tomatoes over this layer (you'll likely need all 5 tomatoes if you're making two pizzas, but only 3 if one giant pizza.).
• 10 mix the mozzarella with the feta.
• 11 sprinkle the cheese over the tomatoes.
• 12 bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes (longer for just one sheet), or until golden brown and bubbly.
