Pizza Greca

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
The 'Pizza Greca' is an interesting gastronomic hybrid born in the pizzerias of Greek immigrants in America. Its characteristic is that it is often baked in a pan, so the dough is fried in oil rather than baked in an oven, resulting in a kind of 'focaccia-like' texture. The behaviour of feta cheese in heat is quite different from mozzarella: it does not melt away, but softens crumbly, providing a salty contrast to the sweet tomato.

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll out the dough and place in an oiled baking tray. Spread with the tomato sauce.

Tip: At the bottom of the oiled tray, the dough 'fries while baking', which results in a crispier bottom than a floured surface.
2 ✓

Slice the tomatoes, and let them stand on kitchen paper for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to drain.

Tip: Water leaving the cells would turn to steam and make the dough soggy if you don't blot it up beforehand.
3 ✓

Scatter the crumbled feta cheese, olives and tomato slices onto the dough. Sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: No need to grate the feta, larger chunks retain their texture and flavour better.
4 ✓

Bake at 220-250°C for approx. 15 minutes, until the edge of the dough is golden brown.

Tip: High temperature is needed for the sudden increase in volume of the dough (oven spring) and the Maillard reaction (browning).

Recipe FAQ

Why is the middle of the pizza watery?
Both fresh tomato and feta release water during baking. Let the tomato stand on kitchen paper after slicing!
It became too salty, what did I do wrong?
Feta and olives are both very salty. In this case, do not salt the tomato sauce separately.
