Instarecipe: Arugula and Feta Pizza

While in process of making these delicious little personal pizzas, I couldn't find my "real" camera. It was lost in the chaos that we currently call our office.

So, I grabbed my cell phone and snapped photos. And then I "instagramed" them!

It was the perfect solution for documenting a yummy, quick, and simple recipe.

Be prepared for future "instarecipes."

We recently joined in on a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), and now I am getting acquainted with lot of new greens!

Like, arugula, for example.

It's a little like spinach and yet has a more mustard-like flavor. And it's very yummy on pizza!

No worries. If you don't have arugula laying around, spinach works just as grand!

I tweaked the pizza dough recipe from the Pioneer Woman a bit to make it a little healthier and heartier.

It's a fantastic recipe for making a quick and easy pizza dough.

Then, I added some of my homemade pizza sauce. I like to add a pinch of cayenne to my pizza sauce for a little spice :)

And then I sprinkled on the arugula and feta.

Let it bake for a few minutes and the personal pizzas are ready to snarf down.

{Printable Recipe}

Ingredients:
For the crust (adapted from The Pioneer Woman):
1/2 tsp yeast
3/4 cup of warm water
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic salt/powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tbsp flax seed (optional)

For the toppings:
3/4 cup of pizza sauce (homemade or from a jar)
1.5 cups of chopped arugula (or another leafy green like spinach)
1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese

Directions:
1. Mix yeast and warm water together; let bubble.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, seasoning, salt, garlic, garlic salt/powder, and flax seed.
3. Slowly add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the flour mixture.
4. Add the water and yeast mixture to the bowl. Stir. The dough should still be a little sticky.
5. Shape into a ball and put into a greased bowl. Cover with plastic and place into the refrigerator for an hour or until needed.
6. When ready to make pizza, preheat oven to 475 degrees. Split dough in half and roll each half out on a floured surface. Place dough on a cookie sheet or pizza stone.
7. Spoon pizza sauce onto the dough and spread evenly.
8. Add chopped arugula and feta evenly on each pizza.
9. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Crust should be lightly browned when finished.
