Prepare the Spinach Topping
- Heat a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil in a wok or skillet. Add finely chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.

Roll Out the Pizza Dough

Assemble the Pizza
- Spread the tomato basil pasta sauce evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.

- Add the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.

Bake the Pizza
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 13–15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and crisp, and the cheese melts and bubbles.
