2 10-inch pizza pies

ingredients
-
Crust
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package fast rising yeast
- 1 cup water (90 degrees)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cups flour
-
Filling
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 (10 ounce) boxes frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1⁄2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 3 -5 fresh tomatoes, sliced
- 3⁄4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3⁄4 cup crumbled feta cheese
directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Make your own pizza dough (I put in the ingredients for nutritional calculation - I use Steve's recipe #8497), or use pre-prepared.
- Heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic until the onions are translucent.
- Add the spinach and keep cooking until all the excess moisture has evaporated (you don't want a soggy pizza!).
- Add the oregano, basil, salt and black pepper, mix thoroughly, and then remove from the heat.
- Mix in the ricotta cheese.
- Roll out the pizza dough fairly thinly. Place into two 10-inch cast iron skillets, or one really big one (I have one I use for deep-dish pizzas - I think it's about 20 inches or so). Or, you can spread the dough out in a cookie sheet. Just make sure you leave a good "lip" for the edge of the crust.
- Using a spatula, spread the spinach-ricotta mixture over the dough in an even layer.
- Arrange the tomatoes over this layer (you'll likely need all 5 tomatoes if you're making two pizzas, but only 3 if one giant pizza.).
- Mix the mozzarella with the feta.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the tomatoes.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes (longer for just one sheet), or until golden brown and bubbly.
