Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 250g) Pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons Harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 150 grams Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 0.5 medium onion Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 medium pepper Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 50 grams Black olives (sliced)
- 50 grams Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Semolina or all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or to the highest temperature your oven allows. Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
On a clean surface, dust with semolina or flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape, about ¼-inch thick.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy transfer later.
In a small bowl, mix the harissa paste with olive oil to create a spreadable sauce. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the harissa sauce as the first layer of toppings.
Add the cooked chicken, spreading it out evenly, followed by the slices of red onion, red bell pepper, and black olives.
Top with crumbled feta cheese for a burst of tangy flavor.
Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Using a pizza peel or large spatula, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley before slicing and serving.
