feta cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Ricotta provides creaminess with fewer calories.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-bought is convenient.

1

Place frozen spinach in a pot and add some water.

2

Heat on the stove until boiling, stirring occasionally until the spinach is fully thawed.

3

Take about 150 grams of pizza dough and divide it into two pieces, rolling them into balls.

4

Let the dough balls rest for 10-15 minutes to become airy.

5

While the dough rests, prepare the feta cheese by cutting it into strips and then mashing it with a fork until fine.

6

Once the spinach is thawed, drain excess water to avoid a watery filling.

7

Combine the drained spinach with the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl, adding salt and black pepper to taste, and mix well.

8

Roll out each dough ball into a rectangle approximately 15 x 20 cm.

9

Place a portion of the spinach and feta mixture on one half of the rolled-out dough.

10

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing down.

11

Cut a slit on top of each pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.

12

Spread some passierte tomaten on top and sprinkle with cheese for added flavor.

13

Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (446°F) for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
