Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 500°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes to mimic wood-fired heat.
  2. Step 2: On a floured surface, roll out 1 lb pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Dust a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet with 1 tbsp cornmeal and transfer the dough onto it.
  3. Step 3: Brush the dough evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil mixed with 1 minced garlic clove, then sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Evenly spread 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by 1 cup sliced roasted red peppers and 4 oz crumbled goat cheese.
  5. Step 5: Slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and scatter 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves on top. Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
