Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 heaping tablespoon Well Seasoned Greek Seasoning blend *
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt *
• ¾ cup warm tap water
• 3 teaspoons of your favourite olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons for drizzling *
• ½ cup Macedonian Feta Cheese, crumbled *
• Freshly cracked black pepper *
• *Available from Well Seasoned

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450º F. Place a pizza stone or baking stone in the oven and preheat. You can also use a baking sheet. In the bowl of a food processor add the flour, Greek Seasoning, yeast, sugar and salt and pulse to combine. Add the olive oil to the water and with the processor running, add the water through the feed tube. Continue to process until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
2. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of flour onto a board and remove the dough from the processor. Hand knead 10 times to form a smooth ball. Cover with a medium sized bowl and allow to rest 15 minutes. Remove the bowl and stretch and flatten the ball into a 12-inch disk.
3. Spray the baking stone or baking sheet with cooking spray and quickly add the dough. Use your fingers to gently depress finger marks into the dough and drizzle with a little more olive oil and a sprinkling of cracked black pepper. Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before crumbling over the feta cheese. Transfer bread to a cutting board, slice and serve while still warm.
