Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (3 ml) with sugar (1 tsp) and active dry yeast (1 tsp). Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (2 cups) and salt (1 tsp). Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil (2 tbs).

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix the ingredients until a dough starts to form. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it 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.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch round pizza crust.

  3. 7

    Add the Cheese

    Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups) evenly over the surface of the dough.

  4. 8

    Layer the Toppings

    Top the mozzarella with crumbled feta cheese (1 cup), halved cherry tomatoes (1 cup), sliced Kalamata olives (1 cup), and thinly sliced red onion (1 medium).

  5. 9

    Season and Drizzle

    Sprinkle fresh oregano leaves (2 tbs) over the toppings and drizzle with olive oil (2 tbs).

  6. 10

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 11

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.
