Ingredients

- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic: Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil and salt, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F for about 35 minutes, until soft.
- Make the Sauce: Blend the ricotta, cream cheese, Parmesan, heavy cream, and roasted garlic paste until smooth. Season to taste.
- Prepare the Pizza: Preheat the oven to 475°F. Roll out the pizza dough to your desired size.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the white sauce over the dough, then layer with spinach. Sprinkle mozzarella, feta, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Drizzle olive oil on top.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Add Kalamata olives or sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy Mediterranean twist.
- Use whole wheat dough for a heartier crust.
- If you like extra cheese, sprinkle more Parmesan on top for a cheesier experience.
- To get a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or preheat a baking sheet.
