Description
Greek Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza Delight is a savory, Mediterranean-inspired twist on classic pizza. This white pizza skips the traditional tomato sauce in favor of a rich roasted garlic base, topped with sautéed spinach, creamy ricotta, tangy feta, and melty mozzarella. Finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs, it delivers bold flavor and a creamy, cheesy bite in every slice.
Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
All-purpose flour for rolling out dough
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes until soft and golden. Once cooled, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl and mash into a paste.
While the garlic roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped spinach until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet or pizza stone. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the roasted garlic paste over the dough as the base. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta over the garlic, then evenly distribute the sautéed spinach. Sprinkle with mozzarella, feta, and Parmesan cheese. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of oregano.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
To save time, roast the garlic ahead and store in the fridge for up to a week. For added texture, try adding thinly sliced red onions or sun-dried tomatoes. This pizza pairs well with a crisp Greek salad or lemony cucumber yogurt dip. Adjust cheese quantities to taste for a lighter or richer experience.
