Goat Cheese Pizza

Here’s how to prepare a zesty tomato sauce and melty cheese-filled goat cheese pizza. It’s hard to say no to!

We have a family favourite when it comes to pizza toppings. A goat cheese! You’ve got to try this Goat Cheese Pizza, which combines chevre’s creamy pockets with acidic, garlicky tomato sauce. Sprinkle some fresh basil and sliced onions over it, and we guarantee that the slices will go in no time. Huge numbers of people seem to like this. As a bonus, it reminds us of the game Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, which is a big hit with our kid. (Ideal for a round of Monopoly?)

Ingredients

There is only room for one recipe. Do you want the Best Pizza Dough, Pizza Oven Dough, or Thin Crust Pizza Dough?
1/3 cup of homemade pizza sauce
12 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
Three ounces of creamy goat cheese (chevre)
One handful of sliced red onions
Oregano, dry, 1/4 teaspoon
Adjust seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Chopped fresh basil leaves, for sprinkling

Instructions

Prepare the pizza crust: To make the dough, you may use either the Best Pizza Dough, Thin Crust Pizza Dough, or Pizza Oven Dough recipes. (Preparation time is about 15 minutes, and relaxation time is around 45 minutes.)
Cooking temperature should be set at 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a pizza stone in the oven. OR fire up your pizza oven (here’s the one we use).
Create the pizza sauce by: Prepare the Pizza Sauce from Scratch. (About a third of a cup will do for the pizza; the rest of the sauce may be stored in the fridge for up to a week.)
Pizza in the oven: Dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour and have it ready when the oven is. (You may use the back of a rimmed baking sheet or a rimless baking sheet if you don’t have a pizza peel.
However, purchasing a pizza peel is money well spent. See How to Stretch Pizza Dough for details on how to shape the dough into a circular. Then, transfer the dough on the pizza peel with care.
Distribute the pizza sauce lightly over the dough. Melt some mozzarella and mix it in. Be liberal with the goat cheese and add it in big dollops. Red onion slices and dry oregano may be used as a garnish. To taste, sprinkle in some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
A pizza stone should be prepared before you transfer the pizza on it using the pizza peel.
Put the pizza in the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden (or 1 to 2 minutes in a pizza oven).
Cut into pieces and serve immediately, or let the pizza rest for a minute or two before topping it with basil (whole leaves, gently torn, or thinly slice.
