Mediterranean meatless pizza – simple vegetarian recipe
Pizza dough:
- 275 g flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tsp yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 175 ml warm water
- 2 tsp olive oil
Garnishes:
- 240 g hummus
- 190 g grated mozzarella
- 4 artichoke hearts (cut into quarters)
- 5 green olives, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
- 5 mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 30 g baby spinach
- 150 g feta cheese
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Preparation:
1. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. The yeast should activate, meaning you should see a foam forming.
2. Once this is done, prepare the dough by adding the yeast water, olive oil, and salt to the flour. Continue kneading for 10 minutes until a soft, smooth dough forms.
3. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a large bowl. Brush the dough with a little olive oil and cover the bowl. Leave the bowl in a warm, dark place to allow the dough to rise. Wait until the dough has doubled in size. This should take about 2 hours. You can also let the dough rise slowly by refrigerating it overnight.
4. Before baking the pizza, knead the dough again and let it rise again.
5. Preheat the grill to 230 C.
6. Roll the pizza dough into a round shape and place it on the pizza stone.
7. Spread with hummus and sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top. Top with onion, spinach leaves, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and olives. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and feta cheese on top. Drizzle a little olive oil evenly over the pizza.
8. Place the pizza stone into the Culinary Modular insert and bake the pizza with the lid closed for approximately 10-15 minutes.
9. When the pizza is ready, slide the metal pizza stone insert between the freshly baked pizza and the pizza stone and remove it from the grill.
10. Rub the pizza with melted butter on the edges of the pizza.
11. Serve warm.
