Homemade Mediterranean Pizza
Mediterranean pizza has all the incredible flavors of Mediterranean cuisine on a thin crust pizza. Easily customize it to include your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- flour or corn meal to prevent sticking
- 1 ball homemade pizza dough
- ⅓ - ½ cup tomato paste pizza sauce or any tomato sauce, amount will depend on size of pizza
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese of choice or more, to taste
- 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup halved artichoke hearts roughly chopped
- ¼ cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes cut into strips if whole
- 1-2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon capers
Garnish
- fresh basil leaves torn
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 500°F/260°C and place a pizza stone or an inverted rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack.
- Roll out dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a thin, circular shape then transfer it to a pizza peel or preheated baking sheet dusted with flour or corn meal.
- Add sauce. Use the back of a spoon to spread a thin layer of the sauce onto the dough, leaving about ½-inch space around the edges.
- Add toppings. Start with the cheese then add the rest of the toppings (minus the basil).
- Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for about 7-10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish. Top with torn basil leaves then cut into slices.
