Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pizza dough — Let the dough come to room temperature before rolling it out to make it easier to work with.
• Feta cheese — Use a good quality feta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
• Olives — Rinse the olives before slicing them to remove excess salt.
• Roasted red peppers — Use jarred roasted red peppers for convenience, or roast your own peppers for a smokier flavor.
• Parsley — Use fresh parsley for the best flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven before baking the pizza.
• Experiment with different Mediterranean toppings, such as artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, or capers.
• If you don't have tomato sauce, you can use canned crushed tomatoes or tomato paste mixed with water.
• To make the pizza spicier, add red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce.
• Leftover pizza can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven for a quick and easy meal.

Serving advice

Serve the pizza hot, straight out of the oven, with a side salad or garlic bread.

Presentation advice

Cut the pizza into slices and arrange them on a large platter for a casual and inviting presentation.
