Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-14 inches) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 200 grams Lean ground lamb
- 0.5 large Red onion
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams Kalamata olives
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12 to 14-inch circle. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 3
Mince the garlic clove and sprinkle it evenly over the pizza dough. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, spreading it gently over the surface.
Step 4
In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground lamb and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Step 5
Thinly slice the red onion and red bell pepper. Halve the cherry tomatoes and pit and slice the Kalamata olives.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the cooked lamb over the pizza dough. Top with the sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and olives.
Step 7
Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the pizza.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot oven (or pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are bubbling.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.
Step 10
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
