Spinach and Feta Cheese Greek-za

By Michelle Jenkins – Serves: 2
Cooking Time: 1 hour 19 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (from a batch of Kenji's NY-Style dough)
  • 1 6 oz. bag baby spinach (per pizza)
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • 2 t. olive oil
  • ~ 1/3 c. jarred marinara sauce (Trader Joe's Organic Marinara is our go-to)
  • 1/4 t. dried oregano (optional)
  • 1/2 c. grated dry mozzarella
  • 2x2 in. chunk of feta cheese, crumbled
  • AP flour for dusting your pizza peel

Instructions

1

Take your dough out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 1 hour before baking. At the same time, preheat Baking Steel at 500F.

2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic for 1 minute to flavor the oil, add spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Squeeze the water out of the spinach in a tea towel and set aside. You don't have to go crazy and squeeze the life out of it, you just want to get rid of most of the liquid.

3

In a small bowl, stir together the marinara sauce and oregano, if using.

4

When ready to put your pizza together, turn the oven up to 525F. On a pizza peel lightly dusted with flour, stretch the dough into an ~ 10 inch circle and spread on the sauce, leaving about a 1 inch border. Add the mozzarella cheese and bake for 6-7 minutes until the cheese is just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven, add the spinach and feta and cook for ~ 2 minutes more.

FridayNightSlice: Pancetta, Swiss Chard, Mushroom

Been awhile since we've had a slice, hasn't it? The good news is, I'm bringing pizza and beer. You can thank Andris and his beer crust experiments on the Baking Steel Facebook page last weekend.  A day later, I had a batch of dough with Silver City Red Ale doing its thing in the fridge, just waiting to become a FridayNightSlice.  The first beer dough pie was a simple pepperoni and mushroom. But for you, I'm fancying it up a little. This week's FridayNightSlice features that beer dough with pancetta, swiss chard and criminis.

Friday Night Slice: Zucchini Cherry Bomb

The door's open and I'm staring into the fridge. What've I got that might make a good, simple flatbread? No time for sauce, what can I throw on there for a quick snack? What did I get at the farmers market? Zucchini. Corn. Chiles. A basket of grape tomatoes. The dough was already stretched out on the board, so I needed to be fast. I took out the zucchini and remembered that julienne peeler I bought a couple of years ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time, the whole zucchini noodle thing.  The truth is, I made "zoodles" about three times before that peeler went in to the drawer, got shoved to the back, and didn't come out again. Turns out, it's the perfect tool for shaving down a medium zucchini so it'll cook up quickly without making a watery mess of your pizza. In celebration of actually using that damn peeler again, this week's Friday Night Slice is the Zucchini Cherry Bomb.  It's vegetarian, it's sauceless and it's delicious.

FridayNightSlice: The Neil Diamond (Cherry, Baby)

Today's Friday Night Slice was inspired by a pie posted by @baconluv, an Instagram friend who lives down in Portland. A few weeks ago she posted a killer looking cherry pizza from a place called Lucca. I filed it away in my brain and last night, with a handful of cherries chilling out in my refrigerator, it was finally time to have a go at a pizza pie with cherries. This one I'm calling the Neil Diamond (Cherry, Baby). In retrospect, looking at the pictures, maybe I should have called it Purple Rain.

FridayNightSlice: DailyWaffle Deluxe

deluxe pizza If you're a Trader Joe's shopper, you know some items don't stick around long.  They appear on the New Items shelf one week and a month later, they might be gone, not popular enough to keep their shelf space.  I worry that the Hot 'n Sweet peppers are going to be one of those items, especially around here, where most people ask for 1-star spicy at restaurants.  These little peppers are fan-freaking-tastic on pizza and they're one of the items on today's #FridayNightSlice -- the DailyWaffle Deluxe.

Friday Night Slice: Kale, Calabrian Chile & Mozzarella Pizza

kale calabrian chile pizza |dailywaffle You know who really needs Spring Break? Adults. Teacher friends, you were smart to get into education. It’s a job I know I could never do, let’s face it, unless I taught 1st or 2nd grade, all the kids would be taller than me. But more than that, you get breaks! We’re just back from some time in Hawaii for the annual escape to sunshine, hence the radio silence around here. The one thing we didn’t have for the duration of our trip was pizza. Hanalei Pizza Company is gone, about to be replaced by a Puka Dog. So, for the first time in ages, we went 10 days without even a slice of pizza. Since we had nothing else in the house, pizza was our first meal back. And whaddya know, my first post back is a Friday Night Slice. Today’s slice is a vegetarian Kale, Calabrian Chile & Mozzarella pie with thinly shaved garlic.

Friday Night Slice: Pineapple + Jalapeños = Pineapeño

No one has really committed to Spring yet.  We’re still in the rainy season and our grill remains bundled up, still in its winter slumber, but this week's Friday Night Slice is one you can make today and carry into the summer barbecue season. I can’t say I know exactly where this one came from.  Was it a craving for island breezes and sunshine? Or just a passing thought about the pepperoni and jalapeño from Pizza Port? Maybe both.  This week’s slice is a vegetarian pizza I’m calling a Pineapeño.

Friday Night Slice: Soppressata Styles

friday night slice soppresata red onion cherry tomatoes| dailywaffleWe’re almost a week into Daylight Savings Time and I still haven’t quite adjusted. 7 am, when it’s just getting light, feels like the right time to get up. Any earlier, it’s pitch black and I just don’t want to roll out of bed, not even for coffee. This week’s Friday Night Slice falls on Pi(e) day, so if you happen to not be fan of flaky-crusted sweet or savory pies, or you just don’t have the time or inclination since we're all in a bit of a haze, a slice of pizza pie is here to mark the occasion.  So let’s get to this week's topping inspiration – Fra'Mani soppressata, red onion and cherry tomatoes.
