Greek Pizza Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

Knead the Dough

Mix until the dough starts to come together. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

Shape the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch it into a 12-inch round pizza crust.

Add Tomato Sauce

Transfer the shaped dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.

Layer Toppings

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by crumbled feta cheese, sliced olives, red onion, and chopped spinach. Finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano.

Bake the Pizza

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
