Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and quick-rise yeast, letting it activate for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt, then add olive oil along with the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth, allowing it to rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
Baking the Pizza
- Preheat your oven with a pizza stone inside, setting the temperature to high for 30 minutes, then reduce to 375°F for an additional 30 minutes.
- Prepare your toppings by slicing cherry tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Spread them on a baking sheet, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Roast them in the oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are shriveled and bursting with flavor.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together plain Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh dill, and lemon juice until well blended and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Once the dough is ready, punch it down to release air and knead it briefly for a minute; roll it out to your desired shape and let it rest for another 10-30 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured wooden cutting board and brush the surface with Greek marinade, spread a layer of tzatziki sauce, and top with roasted tomatoes, gyro meat, red onion, bell peppers, and optional toppings.
- Slide your assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone and bake at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven, cool for a few minutes, top with fresh cucumber slices and additional tzatziki, and serve hot.

Notes
Experiment with toppings depending on your preferences, and preheat the pizza stone for the best crust.
