Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 pre-made pizza dough or crust
Sauces and Cheeses
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Toppings
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup sliced green olives
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
Garnish and Seasoning
- Fresh arugula, for garnish
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up to ensure an evenly cooked crust.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it carefully to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy handling.
- Spread Pesto: Evenly spread the pesto sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges to form the crust.
- Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pesto to create a melty, gooey base layer.
- Add Toppings: Distribute crumbled feta cheese, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, baby spinach leaves, sliced green olives, and thinly sliced red onions evenly over the pizza to build flavor and texture.
- Bake Pizza: Transfer the pizza onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese melts and bubbles beautifully.
- Garnish and Season: Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, then top with fresh arugula. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste for a fresh finish.
- Serve: Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust but is optional.
- You can substitute the pre-made dough with homemade dough if preferred.
- Feel free to add or omit toppings based on your preference to customize the pizza.
- Allowing the pizza to cool slightly before adding arugula preserves its fresh texture.
