**Greek Pizza in a Minute**
For pizza lovers, the "Greek Pizza in a Minute" is a fantastic option that combines traditional Greek flavors with the convenience of homemade pizza. The ingredients you’ll need include:
- 400g pizza dough
- 150g tomato sauce
- 100g crumbled feta cheese
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 10 pitted Kalamata black olives, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon caper flowers
- Fresh or dried oregano
To prepare this dish, preheat your oven to 200°C. Start by spreading the pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce over the dough, followed by the green pepper, olives, and onion. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake the pizza for about 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Once out of the oven, garnish with caper flowers, cherry tomatoes, and oregano for an extra burst of flavor.
**Closed Pizza with Prosciutto and Goat Cheese**
If you’re looking to try something a little different, the "Closed Pizza with Prosciutto and Goat Cheese" offers a delightful twist. The ingredients required for this recipe include:
- 1 serving of pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce with basil
- 50g goat cheese
- 4 slices of prosciutto
- 1 teaspoon fresh or dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon semolina
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Begin by preheating your oven to 230°C, placing a large baking tray inside for about 10 minutes. On a clean work surface, sprinkle some semolina and roll out the pizza dough to a diameter of 24cm. Spread the tomato sauce in the center of the dough, then layer on the goat cheese, prosciutto, oregano, and chili flakes. Fold the dough in half, using the greaseproof paper to help you, and press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside. Transfer the pizza on the paper to the preheated baking tray, lightly coat the top with olive oil, and bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
**Refreshing Watermelon Sorbet**
To complement your meal, consider making a refreshing "Watermelon Sorbet." This simple dessert is not only delicious but also a great way to cool down on warm days. The ingredients needed are:
- 400g frozen watermelon, deseeded
- 60g honey
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- Fresh mint (for garnish)
Start by chopping the watermelon into cubes and freezing them overnight. In a food processor, combine the frozen watermelon, honey, and xanthan gum. Blend until you achieve a fine sorbet texture, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. Serve immediately in cooled bowls and garnish with fresh mint for a delightful finish.
