Grape and Feta Pizza

This dough makes enough for three pizzas in my opinion. So after the rising process, I divided it into three equal sized rounds and made three different pizzas. The toppings in the above list are enough for one pizza.

Make the dough by adding the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar into a large bowl. Mix using a wooden spoon. Add the water and mix slowly until blended. I use my KitchenAid for this process to keep everything in the bowl during the rising process. Mix for about 30 seconds. The dough should be a bit stiff. Cover the bowl with a tea towel or a sheet of plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature until the dough has doubled in volume, about 2 hours.

Once risen, divide dough into three portions. With one of the portions, add some flour to a large pastry board, and start rolling it out into your desired pizza shape. If you are adventurous, try tossing the pizza, to get your desired thickness.

Preheat your oven to 500 F with a pizza stone inside while it heats.

Add a bit of the light cornmeal onto your pizza wheel, then add the tossed dough to the pizza wheel.

Top the dough with the feta cheese, then shower the top with the grapes. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top of the pizza. Transfer the dough from your pizza wheel to the pizza stone in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the dough is nice and golden.

Remove from the oven and slide the pizza onto a cookie rack, to retain a nice, crisp crust. Let the pizza cool for about 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Overall, this pizza was really good. You get that perfect texture from the crust, and the grapes are perfectly balanced by that saltiness from the feta cheese. If you are looking for a light, refreshing, and different pizza to serve, give this one a shot. Both my wife and I really enjoyed it.
