Pizza Night!!!

Goat cheese and herb pizza

Goat cheese and herb pizza

I had fun shopping for this pizza. When deciding what to put on my pizza, I couldn’t brainstorm until I got to my local market. Instead of doing pizza and salad… I brought the fresh and flavorful greens into every bite of my pizza! After raiding the produce section, I stopped over to the cheeses to see what would complement it the best. I wanted bits of sharp richness from goat cheese… but not over the entire pizza. So it is mainly fresh mozzarella with sprinkled on goat cheese. Then to let the cheese and herbs shine I would use extra virgin olive oil and S&P as my base.

Herb Mix

1 part cilantro

1 part dill

2 parts basil

2 parts arugula

**This mix turned out amazing!! The dill gave it a nice tangy twist!! Just make sure to add the herb mix AFTER baking!!!! Or the greens will die!**

I used Bobby Flay’s simple pizza dough recipe :

This recipe yields 2 14-in pizzas, I put the other half of the dough in a ziploc with some EVOO so it won’t stick. This should be stored in the fridge and have a shelf life of about 3 days. ENJOY!!
