Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. On a floured surface, roll the 1 lb pizza dough into a 12x8 inch oval, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the 1.5 cups mozzarella and 0.5 cup feta. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 inch border.

  3. 3

    Fold the long edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the ends to form a boat shape. Brush the crust with the 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp olive oil.

  4. 4

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Remove from oven and brush the crust with the 1 tbsp butter.

  5. 5

    Slice and serve warm, with a sprinkle of black pepper or red pepper flakes if desired.
