Pizza Base

Method

Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Ricotta Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Spinach Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pizza

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to fit an 18-inch pizza pan. Transfer the dough to the pizza pan.

  2. 4

    Spread the Sauce

    Spread the ricotta sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach, sliced kalamata olives, diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta sauce.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
