Best Greek Pizza With Tzatiki Recipes

GREEK PIZZA WITH TZATIKI

Steps:

• Preheat a baking stone in the oven at 550 degrees.
• Shape the dough into a ball by hand or using a rolling pin. Brush the top of the pizza dough with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Gently pierce the dough with a fork to prevent large air bubbles during cooking.
• Remove the pizza stone from the oven and sprinkle the pizza stone (or cookie sheet) with cornmeal. Transfer the pizza to the stone. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.
• While the dough is baking, heat ½ tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add in the chicken breast and season with ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the chicken from the pan to a cutting board and cut into bite size pieces.
• Make the Tzatiki by combining the yogurt, shredded cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
• To assemble the pizza, place the desired quantity of Roma tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, feta cheese and chicken breast on the prepared crust. Drizzle with Homemade Tzatziki and serve additional sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• For the crust: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Dust a heavy baking sheet with cornmeal. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle about 16 inches long and 8 inches wide. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
• For the topping: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. In batches, add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the feta cheese and mint. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Using the tines of a fork, prick the surface of the dough all over. Spread the spinach mixture on top and dot with butter.
• Bake until the dough is golden and crunchy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
