Why you’ll love this
This feta pizza is a delicious homemade version of classic Greek pizza that you can get from your local pizza delivery.
It’s topped with tomato sauce, spinach, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and salty olives for the perfect balance of flavors and nutrients.
It’s also made with a higher protein and easy to make homemade pizza dough using just two ingredients- Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. It makes for a thin crust that leaves you feeling full and satisfied.
Speaking of nutrition, 2 slices of this pizza has 16 grams of protein and even a couple of grams of fiber! I love pairing pizza with a simple side salad, sliced veggies or leftover protein like shredded chicken.
You’ll love this delicious and easy twist on a classic pizza- not only is it made from whole foods but it’s simple too- it’s baked on a sheet pan with no extra equipment needed. Plus, it’s just so fun to make homemade pizza with your family.
This feta pizza also reheats beautifully (pro tip: use your air fryer!), so if you have leftovers, this makes for a great lunch. Let’s get into what you need to make it.
Ingredients
Pizza dough ingredients
- Self-rising flour: This flour has the leavening agents (baking powder + salt) already added, so it gives the pizza dough just enough lift to keep it light and crisp without having to add extra ingredients.
- Greek yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt adds moisture and structure to this better than store-bought dough. You can also swap it out for cottage cheese to give the dough a more salty/cheesy flavor.
Pizza topping ingredients
- Pizza sauce: Use your favorite pre-made pizza sauce, marinara or tomato sauce. You can adjust the amount to your personal preference. I usually opt for Rao’s homemade pizza sauce but anything will work!
- Feta cheese: Feta cheese is the real star of this recipe- it tops it all off with slightly tangy flavor and saltiness that is the perfect combination with the sweetness from the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Mozzarella cheese: Think of shredded mozzarella cheese as the glue for our toppings. It adds a subtle cheesy base without an overpowering flavor. I love to use a feta and mozzarella combination for the best flavor.
- Baby spinach: Baby spinach brings color and nutrients like fiber, folate and iron to this pizza. It cooks down quite a bit and the mild spinach flavor works wonderfully with the stronger flavors like feta, olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Red onion: You can use any onion that you have but red onion or sweet onion are my favorite bringing in a little spice and crunch.
- Sun-dried tomatoes: Sun-dried tomatoes add the best flavor to this pizza. I like to get them already julienne cut to make it even easier.
- Kalamata olives: These Greek olives tie it all together with a creamy texture, salty and hint of vinegar flavor. I buy them pitted and give them a rough chop before sprinkling them over the pizza. If you prefer you can use sliced black olives or green olives too (or skip them if you’re not a fan).
How to make feta pizza
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, add Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix with a spoon and then finish with clean hands, forming into a round ball of dough.
- Next, roll out the dough on a piece of parchment paper (or silicone baking mat) dusted with flour. Work the dough from the center to the edges using a lightly floured rolling pin (or plastic tumbler if you don’t have one). Note: the dough is a bit sticky, I recommend doing this directly on the parchment paper that you’ll be baking on.
- Next, spread your pizza sauce evenly on the rolled out pizza dough.
- Top your pizza, starting with the shredded mozzarella, spinach, onions, sun dried tomatoes, olives and topped with crumbled feta.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Note: If you like less sauce and less toppings, it will be done closer to 20 minutes. If you have more sauce and more toppings, it will likely take a few minutes longer.
How to store
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in 15-20 second intervals in the microwave or air fry at 350 degrees for 3-6 minutes.
Variations
- Make it a white pizza recipe! Skip the sauce and opt for a little olive oil and garlic or spoon on your favorite alfredo sauce.
- Mix things up with different toppings. Add red peppers, fresh tomatoes, broccoli, baby kale, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese or whatever you have on hand.
- Boost the protein. Add pizza toppings like shredded cooked shredded chicken, turkey pepperoni, ground turkey or beef, or top with a drizzle of my 2-ingredient cottage cheese ranch dip.
- Reheat in the morning and top with a fried egg for a delicious breakfast pizza.
- Add chopped spinach, shredded cabbage, peppers, or cucumber for more veggies.
- Change up the cheese! Feta cheese, goat cheese and parmesan would all go great.
- Brush the pizza crust with a little extra virgin olive oil and garlic powder for an extra flavor boost and golden brown color.
