Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball store-bought pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup pre-cooked gyro meat (sliced)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup cucumber (diced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.25 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter.
Brush the pizza dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried oregano.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and lemon juice to create a simple yogurt sauce. Spread it evenly over the dough as the base sauce.
Evenly distribute the pre-cooked gyro meat slices over the pizza, followed by the shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese.
Top with red onion slices and cherry tomato halves for added flavor and freshness.
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Scatter the diced cucumber and chopped fresh dill on top of the pizza.
Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, if desired, for an extra burst of flavor.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Easy Gyro Pizza!
