Greek Pizza

Ingredients

• Homemade pizza dough
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced green bell peppers
• 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
• 1/3 cup artichoke hearts, quartered
• Dried oregano, to taste
• Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Make my pizza dough recipe until Step 9. You only need one pizza dough ball for this recipe. (You can also use store-bought dough, see note below)

2. 2

   Make sure your oven is preheated at 475 degrees F (450 degrees F is fine too, but 475 degrees F is preferred).

3. 3

   After you have brushed the dough with olive oil and pricked it with a fork (Step 9 of the Pizza Dough recipe), top with the Greek pizza toppings. Start with the mozzarella cheese, followed by the remaining toppings. You can adjust the topping quantities to your liking. Tip: Make sure it is not too crowded or overfilled with toppings, as this can create moisture and make the pizza soggy.

4. 4

   Make the melted garlic butter by combining the melted butter with the garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Brush the pizza dough borders with the melted garlic butter.

5. 5

   Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

6. 6

   Slice and serve! If desired, top with more oregano and a few drizzles of olive oil.
