Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-14 inches) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 200 grams Lean ground lamb
- 0.5 large Red onion
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams Kalamata olives
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12 to 14-inch circle. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Mince the garlic clove and sprinkle it evenly over the pizza dough. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, spreading it gently over the surface.
In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground lamb and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Thinly slice the red onion and red bell pepper. Halve the cherry tomatoes and pit and slice the Kalamata olives.
Evenly distribute the cooked lamb over the pizza dough. Top with the sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and olives.
Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot oven (or pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
