A New Favorite!

Greek Pizza!

I had no intention of adding another pizza recipe ... at least, not this soon after my first try. I had a half bag of fresh spinach left and some country style ribs brined in apple cider vinegar, various spices, and had a decidedly Mediterranean flavor when the idea hit ... Greek Pizza!

Let me say, I have always been a traditionalist - at least as far as pizza is concerned. Never varied far from pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives except for occasionally adding pineapple. White pizza, after my initial plunge, was not a meal I planned on eating ever again. So, I was pleasantly surprised after making the Green & White Pizza recipe I recently posted.

With that in mind, and ingredients on hand, I went full tilt into creating what I believe, is my new favorite pizza. I really like taking a basic recipe and altering it to fit my mood, too. This pizza can be all the way veg or add meat of choice (I am thinking of adding gyro meat when I do this again) - I also totally forgot artichoke hearts, which would add a lovely dimension ... ooh, eggplant?!

The very easy dough can be found at the following link: Green and White Pizza.

  • ¼ teaspoon each Dried Oregano, Basil, Garlic Powder, Marjoram, Thyme, Rosemary
