Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball pizza dough (about 12 oz, homemade or store-bought)
  • Flour, for dusting
  • Cornmeal, optional, for dusting baking sheet
  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 1–2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (full-fat preferred)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped (or thawed, squeezed-dry frozen spinach)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (whole-milk preferred)
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Extra olive oil, for drizzling
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Wrap in aluminum foil.
  3. Roast garlic for 15-20 minutes until golden and soft. Let cool, then squeeze out and mash the cloves.
  4. If using refrigerated dough, let it rest at room temperature while garlic roasts. Lightly flour work surface and roll/stretch dough into a 12-inch round. Place on parchment or floured baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ricotta, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and mashed roasted garlic. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Spread white sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  7. Scatter chopped spinach over sauce. Top with feta, mozzarella, parmesan, and red onion if using. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. If using a pizza stone, slide pizza (on parchment) directly onto stone.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool 2-3 minutes.
  10. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  11. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use whole-milk mozzarella and high-quality feta. Squeeze spinach dry to avoid soggy pizza. Preheat pizza stone for a crispier crust. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free crust. Vegan cheese and yogurt alternatives work well for dairy-free adaptation.
