This is a great recipe for a different kind of pizza. It's heavy on the flavors, but you don't feel stuffed after eating it. The recipe was actually born of an experiment performed by myself and a friend on a Sunday night. Be creative, though... last time I made it, I spread pine nuts over the surface and it was terrific!

Time 1h

Yield 1 pizza, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (4 ounce) portion pizza dough
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large plum tomato, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sliced fresh basil
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese (thin slices)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F Shape pizza dough ball into 6-8 inch circle on a lightly floured surface.( Circle doesn't have to be perfect) Place dough on a piece of prachment paper. Fold up edges of dough, forming a 1 inch border. Brush oil evenly over dough with a pastry brush, or drizzle evenly over dough.
  • Cover pizza dough circle loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in warm place, free from drafts, 15 to 20 minutes. Heat pizza stone or heavy baking sheet 10 to 12 minutes in oven. ( I think the pizza stone is much better than the pan).
  • Remove and discard plastic wrap from dough. Layer tomato, and next 3 ingredients evenly. Sprinkle with pepper. Carefully transfer dough on parchment paper to pizza stone.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

  • Broil in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Top pre-baked flatbreads with a thin layer of hummus; make sure it's a thin layer or else pizzas will be soggy. Evenly sprinkle feta cheese on top. Place bell peppers and onion on the flatbreads, evenly spaced. Top with Colby-Jack cheese. Sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper, and dill.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh mozzarella cheese, flavorful tomatoes, and a well-made pizza dough will make all the difference in the final product.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust get crispy and the cheese melt evenly.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: This will help the pizza cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese set and prevent it from becoming stringy.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its fresh ingredients and flavorful toppings, it's a great option for a quick and easy meal or a special occasion. Whether you're a seasoned pizza maker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give Mediterranean pizza a try.
