Basil and Goat Cheese Pizza

1. 1

   Set out pizza dough to bring to room temperature and allow to rise before preparing pizza.

2. 2

   (I usually do this at least a few hours in advance because it makes the dough much easier to work with.)

3. 3

   Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Remove stone from the oven after 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll out dough and place on top of the hot stone for pizza assembly (this allows the bottom of the crust to cook a little bit while you are making the pizza.

5. 5

   Otherwise, the bottom crust doesnt cook as fast as the top does.)

6. 6

   Spread tomatoes out over dough, then layer basil on top.

7. 7

   Mozzarella should be put on top of the basil to keep it from burning.

8. 8

   Last, sprinkle goat cheese crumbles on top to taste.

9. 9

   Bake for 5 minutes, then rotate pizza and bake another 5 minutes.

10. 10

    Remove pizza from oven and brush the outer crust with garlic butter.

11. 11

    Bake another 1 minute, or until golden brown.
