Homemade Pizza

My Homemade Pizza

  • 1 pkg. pizza dough (found in bakery section of most grocery stores)
  • 1 ball fresh mozzarella
  • 8 oz. bag shredded mozzarella 
  • 6 oz. container crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 cup (loosely piled) spinach
  • 2 T corn meal
  • 2 T melted butter
  • 1 t. chopped/minced garlic
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  1. Leave pizza dough out on counter for 2 to 3 hours. Make sure to cut bag open for dough to "breathe."
  2. Once ready to begin, preheat oven to 400 F.
  3. Knead dough (making sure all rings are off of fingers!). Stretch dough out uniformly into a disk. Continue stretching. Occasionally place disk over fist and let drape. Continue this process until desired size.
  4. Coat pizza stone or non-stick pizza/baking tray with cornmeal. This will prevent sticking. Place dough onto coated pizza stone or non-stick pizza/baking tray.
5.  Melt butter with garlic. Brush onto pizza dough.
6.  Sprinkle salt and pepper (to taste) over dough.
7.  Layer dough with 7 oz. of shredded mozzarella.
8.  Place spinach on top of mozzarella.
9.  Add 2 to 3 oz. of Feta cheese to top of spinach.
10.  Slice tomato and add slices to top of pizza.
11.  Slice fresh mozzarella and add slices to top of pizza.
12.  Sprinkle remaining shredded mozzarella over top of pizza.
13.  Bake in 400 F oven for 20-25 minutes or until crust is desired color/texture.
14.  Slice with pizza slicer and enjoy!
