• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Canned crushed tomatoes - 200 grams
• Harissa paste - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, harissa paste, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. While the sauce simmers, roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
5. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the edges with the remaining olive oil.
6. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Top with sliced bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted.
9. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
