Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a little space around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the sauce. Add the chopped lamb souvlaki, followed by the sliced red onion and kalamata olives. Finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano.
- Bake the pizza for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- While the pizza is baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine plain yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced dill, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
- Once the pizza is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
