Directions
- DOUGH:
- In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer combine the water, yeast, and honey. Add the flour, salt, and 2 TBSP of the oil, mix until well combined and dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
- Knead the dough 10 minutes by hand or about 5 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook.
- Form the dough into a ball and place in a large bowl with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil. Flip the dough ball around to cover in the oil then loosely cover the dough and put in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.
- THE PIZZA:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a large 16-inch pizza pan or a baking sheet and set aside.
- Mix all the ingredients for the tzatziki sauce and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shave steak, garlic, cumin, onion, dill, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned, about 3 minutes.
- Punch down the dough then stretch it to fit on your oiled pizza pan. Spread the top side of the dough with the tzatziki sauce then sprinkle on the cheeses. Top with the gyro beef and the olives, onions, and tomato.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 17 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
