2 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil , divided
3 garlic cloves , minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 oz fresh mozzarella , chopped into pieces (regular low moisture mozzarella would be fine too)
4 oz feta , crumbled
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any variety)
1 cup diced grape tomatoes , halved
1/3 cup chopped kalamata olives or black olives
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place pizza stone in oven and rest 30 minutes. Meanwhile combine 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Spread and shape pizza crust into a 12 - 13 inch round over a sheet of lightly floured parchment paper, while creating a rim along edge of dough. Brush pizza dough evenly with olive oil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with oregano, basil, thyme (leaving rim uncovered with herbs) and season lightly with salt and pepper. Top evenly with mozzarella and feta cheese. Bake in preheated oven 12 - 15 minutes until crust is golden. Meanwhile, saute peppers in a skillet in 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium high heat until tender (you could also just add them on without sauteing). Remove pizza from oven and immediately top with peppers, tomatoes, olives, onion and parsley. Cut into slices and serve.
