Zaatar Pizza Recipe

Pizza Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Delicata Squash

   Slice the delicata squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into thin half-moons. In a bowl, toss the squash slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.

3. 3

   Roast the Squash

   Roast the delicata squash in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   While the squash is roasting, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Pizza

   Brush the dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the zaatar spice blend evenly over the dough. Arrange the roasted delicata squash on top of the zaatar.

6. 6

   Add Cheeses

   Grate the pecorino cheese and sprinkle it over the squash. Use a spoon to dollop the stracciatella cheese across the pizza.

7. 7

   Bake the Pizza

   Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

8. 8

   Garnish and Serve

   Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Slice and serve hot.
