Greek Pizza

Sorry I am now just posting this recipe. I know some of you asked for it earlier. It is super easy and very tasty and full of wholesomeness! My 8 & 9-year olds are not super fond of this style of pizza, but my husband and 11 (or as he likes to put it, "I'm almost 12!") rave about it.

Sometimes the tomatoes don't look that great to me in the produce section so I will just grab a can of diced tomatoes and drain a little of the juices. Also I think the kalamata olives are a must over the black ones.

Enjoy!

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust (makes 2 14" pizza crusts)
1 1/3 cup of warm water

2 T olive oil

3/4 t. salt

1 t. honey or sugar

2 cups all purpose, unbleached flour

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 t. of yeast

Add to bread machine as directed by your manual.


Greek Pizza

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 t. sea salt

3 1/2 (or more) T. olive oil

3/4- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped

3/4 cup tomatoes, diced

2 cups baby spinach, coarsely chopped

1/2 small red onion, sliced


1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and preheat to 450 degrees.

2. Using the prongs of a fork, press and mash the garlic and sea salt until a paste is made. Scrap the paste in a bowl with 2 T of olive oil and stir. Brush the garlic oil over the pizza dough.

3. In a large bowl add the olives, tomatoes, spinach and onions and add 1 1/2 (or more) T of olive oil and gently toss until all the veggies are lightly covered, not dripping.

4. Evenly disperse the veggies on top of the dough.

5. Sprinkle with the feta cheese.

6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is mostly melted.

  1. can you use another type of flour to replace the white? (not more wheat though).

  2. I have been trying whole wheat pastry dough and it is very nice to work with. As far as brown rice flour or other gluten free types, I have not tried those. :)
