For a crispier crust, place a pizza stone in the oven while preheating. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone for baking. Experiment with different types of goat cheese, such as honey-flavored or herb-infused varieties, to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have fresh rosemary, dried rosemary can be used. Use about 0.5 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead of 1.5 teaspoons of fresh. Consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

Follow The Directions
01
StepAllow dough to rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk. (Approximately 1-2 hours, depending on room temperature)
02
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (Approximately 15 minutes)
03
StepRoll 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.
04
StepSpread 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.
