Mediterranean Homemade Pizza (Akdeniz Usulu Pizza)

2/3 cup basil pesto sauce

½ cup mushroom, sliced

½ cup corn

1/3 cup onion rings

1 Tbsp olive, sliced

2 Tbsp pepper strips

4-5 tomato slices

½ cup mozzarella, shredded

2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

For the dough:

2 cups flour

1 package instant yeast (7 gr)

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 tsp salt to taste

½ cup lukewarm water

Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Add all the dough ingredients in a mixing bowl and knead for about ten minutes. The dough should be soft. Then cover with a plastic wrap or towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 1-1 ½ hours.

Then, punch the dough and release air. Dust the counter with flour and flatten the dough as thin as you can get using a roller. Place it over an oven tray with baking paper. Pierce a couple of places with a fork. Cover and let it rise for ½ hour. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 F (200 C) oven.

Take it out, spread the basil pesto, and put the vegetables all over. Finally sprinkle with Mozzarella and feta cheese. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top gets brown.

Serve hot/warm.

ENJOY
