Garlicky Spinach Pizza

Basic Pizza Dough recipe - see Pesto Pizza, September 2009

5-6 OZ baby spinach
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 large red pepper, roasted (can buy roasted peppers - use about 6 OZ) - cut into strips
1 OZ crumbled feta cheese
6 OZ extra sharp cheddar cheese

Prepare pizza dough - you'll need to plan time to let it rise. I've found that letting it rise on the pizza pan after you stretch it out makes the dough have a really nice texture (an additional 30 minutes once it's stretched out.)

Heat oil in saute pan over low heat and briefly cook garlic. Add spinach and increase heat to medium. Stir spinach until wilted and some liquid cooks off, but leave a little liquid.

Spread spinach evenly around crust, top with red pepper, feta, then cheddar. Bake at 500-525 for about 10-14 minutes - check frequently at the end. It depends how golden you like your cheese.

GREEK SALAD
romaine lettuce
feta cheese
calamata olives
red onion
cucumber
grape or cherry tomatoes
balsamic or Greek vinaigrette
