Two pies - One delicious Pizza Party! Each pie is loaded with fresh veggies, sprinkled with feta and served atop a soft dough baked to crusty perfection!
If you follow along on Instagram, then you know how excited LTG was that February 9th was #NationalPizzaDay!
We went all out and made two different pizzas. So today we are serving up not one, not two, but three delicious recipes! Yep, you read that right three - because quite frankly, this pizza dough is too good not to share! 😉
I have often wondered what pizza dough flavor is. Turns out it is just a blend of spices that can easily be replicated. I chose dried oregano, pepper, and garlic powder. You can add Italian seasoning or onion powder if you so desire. Feel free to get creative with it!

Seasoned Pizza Dough Fresh Veggie & Feta Pizza Spinach & Feta Pizza
- Total Time: 23 minutes
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 1 Seasoned Pizza Dough (see recipe above)
Toppings:
- 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/8 cup grated cheese
- Olive Oil
- 1 Seasoned Pizza Dough (see recipe above)
Toppings:
- 1 package frozen spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
- 2 sun dried tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta
- 1/4 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1/8 cup grated cheese
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Proof your yeast. Add yeast and sugar to warm water. Let stand for about 10 minutes until it begins to bubble and foam.
- In the bowl of your mix master stir flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the proofed yeast.
- Mix on low speed just until a soft dough comes together. Turn over onto a well-floured surface.
- Knead for a few minutes - no more than 3-4 minutes. Divide dough in half and place each dough in an oiled bowl. Cover and let sit someplace warm for at least 2 hours.
NOTE: I usually heat the oven to the lowest temperature (170 degrees F) then turn it off. I wait a few minutes and then place my dough(s) in the oven.
- Once the doughs have doubled in size, punch down each dough and fold into a ball again. Cover and let rest again for a couple of hours.
- Roll each dough out on a well floured surface. Each dough should be about 10" and about 1/2" thick.
- Place each dough on a pan sprinkled with cornmeal. Add your desired toppings and bake away!
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a small sauce pan, heat about 1 tablespoons olive oil with grated garlic. Once the garlic begins to turn golden, add sliced onions. Once the onions begin to cook down, add the zucchini slices. Turn the heat down to low and add the sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the heat once the veggies have cooked down.
- Top the prepared dough with the sauteed veggies. Add capers, parsley, feta and grated cheese. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and oregano, then drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over the entire pie.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust becomes golden and the edges begin to bubble.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a small frying pan, cook down frozen spinach, remove from heat and let cool. Once the spinach has cooled, transfer to a strainer and drain the excess water.
- Rub the prepared pizza dough with grated garlic.
- Generously, spread out the cooked spinach. Top with onion slices, sun dried tomatoes, and cheeses. Sprinkle red pepper flakes, oregano, and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the pie.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden and the edges begin to bubble.
- Prep Time: 8 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes

Looks fabulous and you doesn't love pizza. I like the idea of the making your own pizza - its so much healthier and this recipe is filled with vegetables, herbs and spices - just what our bodies need for a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & twitted.

Okay, I'm convinced to try these types of not usual pizzas. They look so good. Glad to have this inspiration for the weekend. It's always nice to have oven food in the winter! I'll be sharing our falling in love story with the kids over one of these pizzas since they are way too busy with Snapchat to read that story on my blog! Happy Valentine's Day, Linda

A) I missed national pizza day and it is my favorite food group B) I made my kids frozen pizza tonight (granted, we're in Burgundy, so it had olives and goat cheese, but still, frozen...) You've inspired me to try more and to be better!
Living the Gourmet says
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Mark! Pizza with olives and goat cheese sounds delicious to me - frozen or fresh! Pizza day can be any day. Stop by again soon! Cheers~
Medeja says
Both pizzas look and sound amazing! I love using feta, haven't tried that 🙂

A healthy pizza! Fantastic, now you have raised it to to a healthy meal. I often have great trouble getting into your blog. Any time you don't see me, you will know why. The last time, I never could. SO I have just checked out what I messed. YUM, I love eggs and I love home fries, what could be better?

I make focaccia all the time, but I never make pizza dough, I love that you seasoned it!
