Greek Style Pizza with Feta and Olives

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Pizza Greca is an interesting hybrid born in the pizzerias of Greek immigrants in America. Typically baked in a pan, the crust essentially fries in oil, resulting in a focaccia-like texture. Feta cheese behaves differently than mozzarella under heat: it doesn't melt away but softens into crumbs, providing a salty contrast to the sweet tomato.

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll out the dough and place it in an oiled pan. Spread with tomato sauce.

Tip: The oiled pan fries the bottom of the crust, making it crispier than baking on a floured surface.
2 ✓

Slice the tomatoes and let them sit on paper towels for a few minutes to drain excess moisture.

Tip: Water escaping from the cells would steam and make the dough soggy if not removed.
3 ✓

Scatter the crumbled feta, olives, and tomato slices over the dough. Sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: Don't grate the feta; larger chunks hold their texture and flavor better.
4 ✓

Bake at 425-475°F (220-250°C) for about 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Tip: High temperature is needed for oven spring and browning (Maillard reaction).

Recipe FAQ

Why is the center soggy?
Fresh tomatoes and feta both release water. Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel before using!
It's too salty, what went wrong?
Feta and olives are very salty. Do not add extra salt to the tomato sauce.
