INGREDIENTS:
Neapolitan-Style Pizza Dough seasoned tomato pulp vegetable oil or cooking spray for greasing pizza screen or ventilated pizza pan (if using)
cornmeal for sprinkling pizza peel (if using) extra-virgin olive oil for brushing crust and drizzling over toppings 2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano, or 2 teaspoons crumbled dried oregano
3 cups crumbled high-quality feta cheese (about 12 ounces) 1 cup drained, pitted Kalamata olives 1 cup sliced pickled peppers (peperoncini)
1 cup chopped red onion 2 tablespoons drained small capers 1/2 cup freshly grated kasseri cheese (about 2 ounces)



1 Make the Neapolitan-Style Pizza Dough and set aside to rise as directed.
2 Prepare the seasoned tomato pulp as directed and set aside to cool to room temperature.
3 About 30 minutes before baking the pizza, prepare an oven as directed , and preheat it to 500 degrees F. If using a pizza screen or ventilated pan, brush it with vegetable oil or coat with spray and set aside. If baking directly on a stone or tiles, spirnkle a pizza peel with cornmeal and set aside.
4 On a lightly floured surface, roll out or stretch the dough and shape it as desired. Place the dough on the prepared screen, pan, or peel. Brush the dough all over with olive oil, then top with the tomato pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the oregano over the tomato layer, then top with the feta cheese. Scatter the olives, peppers, onion, and capers over the cheese and drizzle with olive oil. If using a pizza peel, give it a quick, short jerk to be sure that the bottom of the crust has not stuck to it.
5 Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden, about 10 minutes.
6 Remove the pizza to a wire rack and let stand for about 2 minutes, then transfer to a cutting tray or board and lightly brush the edges of the crust with olive oil. Sprinkle with the kasseri cheese. Slice and serve immediately.
