Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough ball
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 head garlic
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
Seasoning and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt
- Freshly cracked pepper
- Optional: red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a whole garlic bulb by slicing off its top. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
- Roast the garlic for 35-40 minutes until golden and softened. Once cool, squeeze the tender cloves into a small bowl and mash completely.
- Roll your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, ensuring an even thickness. Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
- Spread the roasted garlic mash across the entire surface of the dough. Drop ¾ cup ricotta cheese in small dollops and gently spread with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked pepper over the white base. Distribute 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves evenly across the pizza.
- Scatter 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese and ½ cup crumbled feta cheese over the spinach. Add red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired.
- Bake the pizza at 430°F for 12-15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and cheese becomes bubbly and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with additional olive oil if you prefer. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Roasting garlic transforms its sharp bite into a mellow, sweet flavor that adds incredible depth to your pizza.
- Fresh spinach wilts perfectly during baking, so spread it evenly to ensure each slice has a balanced green coverage.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional pizza dough with cauliflower crust or a gluten-free prepared base from the store.
- If your kitchen is chilly, let pizza dough rest and rise near a warm spot to ensure a light, airy crust that bakes beautifully.
