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.

Take the Shortcut: Pork Chow Mein
Stir-fried dishes get all the glory for being quick to prepare. If you're working with tofu or chicken or just doing a quick vegetable side, it lives up to the hype.  But bring noodles into the equation, as you would for chow mein, and your quick fix dinner goes out the window -- if you're…
Football Food, Literally: Fried Rice Inarizushi
fried rice footballs lineup| dailywaffle You've seen the Snackadium, the pizza with a pepperoni football, the zillion layer dip, but come Sunday you might want a more literal football food -- inari, the sushi we've always called "footballs." The basic inarizushi is simply filled with seasoned white sticky rice, a fancier version might add some shredded teriyaki chicken and carrots, and this one, I went full-on, stuffing it with bacon and char siu fried rice.
Steller Story: Hummingbird Paparazzo
If the food posts have seemed a little slow around here, it's because I've been obsessed with shooting the hummingbirds that have taken to visiting our new little feeder. When you usually shoot still objects, trying to capture these little guys has been an entirely new challenge. Click through the Steller Story above for a…
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.
Caramel Corn with Salty Peanuts
caramel corn | dailywaffle Popcorn is due for a comeback. An aluminum tub of slightly stale popcorn -- plain, cheddar and caramel -- was an ‘80s Christmas staple. Now, it just seems like a cheap office gift ordered from some terrible catalog.  Long before kettle corn took over the popcorn scene, there were "gourmet" popcorn shops at the mall. After picking up some jeans at Miller's Outpost, you could pick up popcorn dusted in flavors like Barbecue, Sour Cream and Onion, and Ranch. Ah, the good ol' days. With kettle corn overshadowing everything else in the popcorn universe, it’s been easy to forget about good ol’ caramel corn. The thing is you don’t have to go to the mall or wait for Christmas. Making caramel corn at home isn’t that hard and it’s just not that expensive. Let’s make some caramel corn with salty peanuts. It’s time.
