Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Hummus
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 1 (small, diced) Cucumber
- 0.5 (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup (pitted and sliced) Kalamata olives
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the center.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the pizza dough, ensuring the edges are well coated.
Spread the hummus evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the hummus layer.
Top the pizza with crumbled feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and Kalamata olives.
Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the toppings.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the pizza bakes, in a small bowl combine the diced cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make a fresh topping.
Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Scatter the cucumber and parsley mixture over the pizza as a refreshing final touch.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mediterranean Greek Pizza!
