Method

Ingredients

1. To make the dough, combine the yeast, sugar and water in a large bowl. Allow to stand until foamy, then add the flour and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir to form a loose, shaggy dough, then turn out onto a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and bounces back when pressed.

2. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and allow to prove for 45 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, crumble the feta into a food processor, add the yoghurt and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides and blend for a further minute. Spoon into a mixing bowl and stir through the dill and pepper. Chill until required.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the dough in a greased, high-sided baking tray or large, round baking dish. Using your fingertips, gently press the dough into the tray, creating a crust by pushing the dough up the sides.

5. Press your fingertips into centre of the dough, then spread over the caponata. Add the lamb, then bake for 20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the tray.

6. Spoon over some of the whipped feta, garnish with mint and dill, then slice and serve.

Cook's note: Whipped feta isn’t just great on pizza, it’s also the perfect addition to a meze platter or as a base for roasted vegetables.
