Basil Goat Cheese Pizza Recipe

Basil Goat Cheese Pizza Recipe

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 sprig fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 3/4 cup Italian tomato sauce
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped
  1. Allow dough to rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  3. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 15-inch circle. Roll the edges towards the center to form a crust, leaving a 12-inch circle. Brush the entire crust generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, 1 sprig of chopped basil, and rosemary. Bake in preheated oven until the crust begins to turn golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Spread the crust with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with 2 sprigs of chopped basil and goat cheese. Bake in preheated oven until the crust is brown, and the pizza has heated through, about 8 more minutes.
