How to Make Greek Roasted Garlic Spinach White Pizza

1. Roast the garlic: Slice off the top of the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30–35 minutes. Cool, then squeeze out the soft cloves into a bowl.
2. Sauté the spinach: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet, sauté chopped spinach until wilted (2–3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
3. Make the white base: Mash the roasted garlic, mix with ricotta, half the mozzarella, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4. Assemble the pizza:

• Spread the garlic-ricotta mix on the crust
• Add spinach
• Top with remaining mozzarella, crumbled feta, and Parmesan
• Add red pepper flakes if desired

1. Bake: Place in a 400°F oven for 15–20 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
2. Garnish & serve: Add fresh basil leaves, slice, and enjoy!

How to Serve It

Serve hot out of the oven, sliced into wedges or squares. This pizza pairs well with a crisp Greek salad or even a side of marinara for dipping.

 

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• Reheat: In the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or until warm and crisp again
• Freezing: Not ideal due to the fresh cheese, but possible if wrapped well
