Yield: 8 slices

One recipe Bread Machine Pizza Dough or Hand-Rolled Pizza Dough
2 to 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
14 1/2-ounce can diced roasted garlic tomatoes, crushed and well drained or 3/4 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup thin slivers of red onion
1/4 cup chopped black olives

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Roll the pizza dough into a 14-inch circle and transfer to a 14-inch pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the crust to rise slightly.

3. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and add the spinach. Place over medium heat and cook for a couple of minutes to wilt the spinach. Set aside.

4. Top the crust with the drained tomatoes or marinara sauce, spinach, and feta cheese. Sprinkle with the oregano and top with the mozzarella, onions, and olives.

5. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the pizza is lightly browned. Serve hot.

Time-Saving Tip: substitute 10 ounces frozen (thawed) whole-wheat bread dough for the homemade pizza dough. Or make 4 mini-pizzas using whole grain pita bread, flatbread, or tortillas for the crusts. (Bake mini pizzas for about 8 to 10 minutes).
