Directions
- THE DOUGH:
- Add the water to a large mixing bowl then sprinkle on the yeast. Stir in the flour until well combined then add the salt and 1 TBSP of the olive oil and continue to stir until a dough is formed and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the dough by hand for 5 minutes then form into a smooth ball. Place the dough ball into a large clean bowl and drizzle the 1 tsp of oil over top. Flip the dough ball around a few times to cover the outside in the oil.
- Loosely cover the bowl and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- THE TOPPINGS AND ASSEMBLY:
- Preheat then oven to 475°F. Lightly oil a large pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Heat the 2 TBSP of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot add the spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the garlic and crushed red pepper.
- Punch down the dough, stretch or roll out the dough to fit your pizza pan.
- Spread the spinach evenly on top of the pizza dough. Spread out the red onion slices evenly on top then sprinkle on the feta cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until crust is crispy.
