Greek Pizza

Just about anything you can think of can become a pizza! So today I made one version of a Greek pizza complete with lamb, red pepper, red onion, feta and yogurt sauce. Enjoy!!

Ingredients:
1 - 12 inch pizza dough (homemade, store bought, etc)
1 cup - browned ground lamb
2 - small tomatoes sliced into rounds
1/2 - red pepper, julienne
1/4 - red onion, sliced into half moons
3/4 cup - crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup - hummus
Dried oregano
Garlic Powder
Pepper
Olive oil
Yogurt sauce (see Greek Tostada blog for recipe)

Based on your type of pizza crust your oven temperature may be different. For my homemade crust I pre heat my oven between 450-470 degrees with a my pizza stone on the bottom rack at least 1-hr prior to baking the pizza. This allows for the stone to get good and hot.

Spread the hummus over the pizza crust leaving about a 1 inch rim. Spread the tomatoes, red peppers, and red onions over the hummus. On top of the vegetables sprinkle the lamb and the feta. Generously sprinkle oregano and garlic powder on top of the pizza. Grind some fresh black pepper on top of the pizza and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil. You can add a pinch of salt if you'd like, but I don't find it necessary as the feta is pretty salty.

Cook the pizza for approximately 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown. When done drizzle the top of the pizza with the yogurt sauce and allow the pizza to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting.
