Greek Pizza
How many times have you heard that home cooking is the best… it’s true! You add your favorite ingredients, herbs and spices to your recipes. You’re in control of what goes in it and how much you use. It’s fresher, cheaper and also healthier. There are less artificial flavors and preservatives.
According to psychologists, cooking meals at home can relax you helping to reduce stress. Now if you’re filming what you’re making and have a deadline to meet (that’s if you own a cooking website), it’s NOT and I repeat not relaxing at all… but that’s another topic… lol! Maybe one day I should write about how things can go wrong when you are filming a recipe for a food blog…
Back to a more positive and less stressful note – writing helps me to relax… who knew!
What’s fun about making food at home is you can experiment with ingredients, herbs and spices. The perfect example is my Greek Pizza! The ingredients used blend so well together. With Shredded Chicken, veggies, feta and other flavorful ingredients, this is quite an original pizza…
I know most of you will try to find a quicker way to make this pizza by buying premade crusts but if you do want to take that extra step, I love to make my Rustic Italian Pizza Dough for this Greek Pizza as well as when I make my Quattro Formaggi Pizza • Four Cheese Pizza. It helps to make it so… Mediterranean! On the other hand, there is Easy-Cheesy Herb Pizza Dough and Green Onion Pizza Dough to choose from if you’d like.
This Greek Pizza has its own authentic taste! Besides the amazing ingredients, I like to drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil just before the pizza hits the oven. This little touch brings the ingredients in this flavorful dish together. Next time you decide to make pizza at home, you definitely have to try this one… and you’ll know why after your very first slice!
