Halal Spanakopita Pizza combines the beloved flavors of Greek spanakopita with a pizza twist, featuring a flaky crust topped with spinach, feta, and savory spices. It's a delightful fusion dish that is both satisfying and easy to make.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 200 grams
• Fresh spinach - 150 grams
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Ricotta cheese - 50 grams
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1, beaten (for egg wash)
• Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, around 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. In a bowl, mix the cooked spinach, crumbled feta, ricotta, chopped green onions, oregano, black pepper, salt, and lemon zest until well combined.
5. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.
6. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve.
