olive cheese pizza with feta stuffed crust
So ya'll want a side of cheese with your cheese so you can be cheesin'?
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough, homemade or store bought
- 2/3 cup pizza sauce, homemade or store bought
- 6 oz feta cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mixed olives, halved
- fresh oregano and basil, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle corn meal onto a large baking sheet.
- In a bowl, crumble the feta and toss with oregano, garlic, pepper flakes, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Split the pizza dough into two balls. Working with one, press, push, and twirl into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Sprinkle half of the feta mixture around the perimeter, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Fold the dough over the feta and pinch the seam to seal.
- Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and poke all over with a fork. Parbake for 6 minutes until the crust is slightly golden. Don't worry if the sealed edges pop open a bit - the toppings will help fill in the gaps.
- Spread half of the pizza sauce over the crust. Top with half of the olives, then half of the mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes longer until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Repeat all steps with the second ball of pizza dough.
- Serve hot with fresh herbs!
