Ingredients

1 12-inch pizza dough homemade or store-bought
4 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
½ tsp salt
1 teaspoon thyme
¼ tsp black pepper
½ teaspoon dried basil optional
1 can artichoke hearts 15 oz
¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes
½ cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
¾ cup red onion sliced
1 cup fresh mozzarella sliced or shredded
½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
½ cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. IF you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven.
On a baking sheet or a pizza peel, roll out the pizza dough to 12 inches.
Spread olive oil on the dough and sprinkle salt, thyme, black pepper and dried basil on the pizza dough.
Top the pizza dough with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, red onion and fresh mozzarella.
Transfer the pizza onto the pizza stone (if using) and bake in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and the dough is crispy on the edges.
Top with fresh tomatoes and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately.

Notes

You can use regular, whole wheat or gluten-free pizza dough.
Instead of olive oil, you can use toum (Lebanese garlic sauce), zhough, basil oil, or pesto as a base for your pizza.
Other additions to this pizza are sliced and roasted (or fried) zucchini or eggplants, bell peppers, spinach or feta cheese.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pizza on a baking sheet and place it in a cold oven. Turn the oven on to 250 degrees F and let the pizza reheat slowly, this would take about 25 minutes.
