Savoglou – Tsivolas Sea & Sun Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

Knead Dough

Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let it Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Prepare Toppings

While the dough is rising, chop cherry tomatoes in half, and roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.

Shape Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a round shape about 1/2 inch thick.

Add Toppings

Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the feta cheese evenly over the base, followed by the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Sprinkle fresh basil on top.

Drizzle with Olive Oil

Drizzle the olive oil over the toppings for added flavor.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is slightly browned.

Serve

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy your Savoglou – Tsivolas Sea & Sun!
