Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin, round shape approximately 12-14 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the pizza dough surface with olive oil, ensuring an even coating to help create a golden, crispy crust.
- Spread the sliced roasted red peppers evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the red peppers, covering the surface uniformly.
- Add crumbled feta cheese on top of the mozzarella, distributing it evenly for a tangy flavor profile.
- Scatter sliced olives across the pizza for additional Mediterranean flavor and texture.
- Sprinkle dried oregano over the pizza, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
- Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs like basil or parsley if desired.
Tips
- To ensure a crispy crust, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and use a pizza stone if you have one. Make sure to roll out the pizza dough thinly and evenly to achieve the perfect base. Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make the crust soggy. Finally, let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set and the flavors to meld together.
