Ingredients
Pizza dough
- 1 ball Easy pizza dough (or your favorite dough)
Greek pizza topping
- 4 oz (110 grams) mozzarella in water (or from ½ to ⅔ cup shredded firm mozzarella – see notes below*)
- 4 oz (110 grams) feta, crumbled
- 1 ½ cup (200 grams) cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
- 2 medium-sized red onions, cut into wedges
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved lengthwise
- 1–2 Tablespoons dried oregano, according to taste
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pizza dough: Follow the easy no-knead pizza recipe through step 5, including shaping the pizza and preheating the oven with a pizza stone inside.
- Greek pizza topping: Roast the veggies, prepare the cheese, shape the dough, add the topping, bake the pizza, and serve.
Notes
- What kind of mozzarella is best for pizza? Mozzarella in water contains plenty of moisture, making your pizza’s bottom soggy, especially if you overload it. To prevent this, reduce the amount of cheese and dab the mozzarella with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Alternatively, firm, low-moisture mozzarella (usually pre-shredded) helps avoid the soggy crust.
- What to use instead of a pizza stone? Each oven usually has a rimmed baking sheet that you can invert and place on the lowest shelf of your oven before you preheat it. When the baking sheet is right-side up, taking the pizza in and out of the oven will be easier, and the preheated baking sheet will make a nice and crisp pizza crust.
- Storage Tips: Cover Greek pizza leftovers tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or freeze in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat the frozen pizza leftovers in the oven until crispy.
