Pizza Base

Method

Pizza Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Lightly brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil to help it crisp up in the oven.

Basil Cream Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Basil Cream Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the mixture is warmed through and the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Pizza

  1. 4

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread the basil cream sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough. Layer the cooked chicken or gyro meat, fresh spinach, chopped artichokes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced black olives, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  2. 5

    Bake the Pizza

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

  3. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice it into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
