How to Make Mediterranean Pizza

  1. **Prepare the Crust:** If using store-bought crust, skip to step 7. If making your own:
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Lightly grease a 12-inch round pizza pan with olive oil.
  8. Roll out the dough and press it into the prepared pan.
  9. Let the crust rest for another 10-15 minutes.
  10. Brush the crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil before adding toppings.
  11. **Make the Meat Sauce:** While the dough rests, brown 1 pound (450g) ground meat (beef, lamb, or a mix) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  12. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  13. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1/2 cup (120ml) water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  14. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  15. **Assemble and Bake:** Spread the meat sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  16. Top with 5 ounces (140g) fresh spinach, 1/2 cup (70g) artichoke hearts (quartered), 1 cup (100g) sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup (70g) sliced tomatoes, and 1/2 cup (70g) crumbled feta cheese.
  17. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
