Greek Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 medium head of garlic
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic and baking the pizza.

2. 2

   Roast the garlic: Slice off the top of the medium head of garlic to expose the individual cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it tightly in aluminium foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Once done, allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them with a fork.

3. 3

   Prepare the pizza crust and toppings: Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the mashed roasted garlic evenly over the crust as a flavorful base. Next, evenly layer the chopped fresh spinach over the garlic. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the pizza, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, and grated Parmesan evenly on top.

4. 4

   Season the pizza: Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the cheese and spinach layers. Add crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a bit of heat. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil lightly over the toppings.

5. 5

   Bake the pizza: Place the prepared pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, and the crust is crisp and cooked through.

6. 6

   Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for a fragrant finish, slice, and serve immediately while warm.
