Dough

Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with olive oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 6

    Marinate the Onions

    Slice the red onion thinly and marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper for about 15 minutes.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Chop the fresh tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  3. 8

    Prepare the Cheeses

    Crumble the feta cheese and grate or slice the mozzarella cheese.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 9

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 10

    Roll Out the Dough

    Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 11

    Prepare the Pizza Base

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 12

    Add Cheeses

    Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.

  5. 13

    Add Toppings

    Top with the marinated onions, chopped tomatoes, and sprinkle sumac spice and fresh oregano over the top.

  6. 14

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza for added flavor.

Baking the Pizza

  1. 15

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.

  2. 16

    Check for Doneness

    Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  3. 17

    Cool and Slice

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
