Equipment
- pizza peel
- pizza stone or pizza pan
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough or homemade dough
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup olives combination of black, green and kalamata sliced in half
- ¼ cup red onion sliced
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbles
- sea salt to taste
- fresh oregano leaves to taste
Instructions
- With the pizza stone or pan in the oven, preheat the oven to 525℉.
- Prepare the pizza dough according to the package instructions. Shape the dough on a pizza peel generously coated with semolina flour or cornmeal, pressing down on the center to leave the outer crust slightly raised until you've formed a 12-14 inch circle.
- Evenly brush pizza sauce on the dough. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella cheese. Layer with olives and red onions. Sprinkle on feta cheese and sea salt to taste. Very lightly brush the outer crust with pizza sauce.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone or pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and just begins to brown.
- Remove the cooked pizza using the pizza peel and sprinkle on the fresh oregano leaves. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 pieces and serving.
Notes
I recommend making a homemade dough for the best flavor and texture rather than using canned or packaged dough. This is my recipe for a thick crust pizza dough and this is my thin crust New York style dough. I make my doughs in a bread machine. If you don't have a bread machine, this thin crust pizza dough can be made by hand as can my NY style dough.
Storing: store pizza in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap or foil for up to 7 days. To freeze pizza, wrap each slice individually in freezer-safe plastic wrap or place into storage baggies. Freeze for up tp 6 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer, or thaw in the fridge overnight and warm in the microwave.
