Ingredients
Scale
For the dough
400g all-purpose flour (14 ounces)
100g flour for pizza dough (3.5 ounces)
300g water, at room-temperature (1 and 1/4 of a cup)
To prepare this feta cheese pizza recipe, start by making the dough. Add into the bowl of the electric mixer the water along with the yeast. Stir with a fork and wait 3-4 minutes, for the yeast to be completely dissolved and starts bubbling. Pour in a splash of milk. Into the same bowl, add the flour, the salt and sugar. Using the dough hook, mix all the ingredients in low speed for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough becomes an elastic ball. Whilst mixing, pour in the olive oil. When done, remove the dough from the hook and check out its texture. It should be smooth and elastic and slightly sticky. If it is too sticky, add just a little more flour (1/2 tsp), mix and check again.
Leave the dough to rest for 5 minutes and then mix again for 2 minutes.
Coat lightly the dough with some olive oil, place the dough inside and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit in warm place for at least 30 minutes, until it doubles it’s size.
Take the dough out of the bowl knead for a while, to deflate it and split in 3 evenly sized balls. Using a rolling pin, stretch out each ball, on a floured surface, and shape into a thin round shaped pizza base (0.5 cm thick)
Move the pizza bases on some slightly oiled grease proof paper. Do that now, before adding the toppings, as it will be more difficult to move later.
To make the sauce of the feta cheese pizza, heat a saucepan on low-medium heat and add a 1 tbsp of olive oil and the garlic. Saute, until slightly golden and then add the basil, the tomatoes, the oregano and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes, mashing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon, while it cooks.
This feta cheese pizza recipe is all about the topping! Choose some good-quality ingredients, as it will enhance the flavour.
Preheat the oven to 180C. Smear the tomato sauce over the base of the pizzas and spread with a spoon. Grate the mozzarella on top and scatter the sliced tomato, the onions, the peppers and 1/3 of the olive oils and feta cheese. Bake each pizza for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
When done, top with the rest of the crumbled feta cheese, the rest of the olives and the chopped tomatoes. Adding raw ingredients on top of this feta cheese pizza, will give a unique and more earthly flavour. Drizzle with olive oil and add a good pinch of dried oregano.
