Start with your pizza dough in a ball. On a lightly floured surface, start working the dough with your hands and using a rolling pin stretch out the ball on a floured surface, and shape into a thin round shaped trying to maintain the shape of your pan. Work from the center of your dough to the outside to keep your thickness even. Make sure to rotate your dough often to keep it from sticking to the surface you’re working on.
Move prepared dough on to your pan
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Smear the marinara sauce over the base of the pizzas and spread with a spoon. Add as much or as little as you like but make sure to cover the dough
If you are making your own sauce add 1 Tablespoon of lavender pizza seasoning or culinary lavender
Grate the mozzarella on top and scatter the sliced tomato, the onions, the basil, the peppers , the olives and top off with the feta cheese.
Bake pizza for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Enjoy!
Note:
For an extra touch
Top with more crumbled feta cheese, fresh basil and more olives and chopped tomatoes.
Adding raw ingredients on top of this feta cheese pizza, will give a unique and more earthly flavour.
Drizzle with olive oil or better yet with lavender infused olive oil and add a good pinch of our seasoning mix or ground lavender.
Enjoy!!
