I love making pizza. And tomato, basil, and goat cheese is by far my favorite pizza combo. Something about those three things put together just brings out their best flavors. I've had many people be skeptical of this pizza combo, but once they taste it they can't get enough. This is a great pizza to make during the summer when tomatoes & basil are fresh from the garden. Here's the skinny...
Get yourself a batch of pizza dough ready.
I like to make this pizza smaller, about 12 inches, & with thinner crust. If you do a whole dough recipe you'll need to divide the dough into fourths, roughly.
You'll also need to make some sauce.
Ingredients (for one 12 inch pizza)
pizza dough
1/3 cup pizza sauce
1/2 medium tomato, thinly sliced
2 sprigs of fresh basil
3 ounces goat cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 550 degrees.
Spread out fist size portion of pizza dough onto greased cookie sheet or parchment paper into a 12 inch circle.
In circular motion spread pizza sauce onto dough leaving about an inch un-sauced dough around the edges.
Lay tomatoes on top of sauce spreading them out to cover most of the pizza. Place small spoonfuls of the goat cheese on top of pizza. Pull off fresh basil leaves and spread them out on top of pizza.
Sprinkle mozzarella over the top of everything.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until crust is golden around the edges. Serve warm and enjoy!
