1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup warm water

For the Toppings

1 cup goat cheese
1 large onion
1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 500°F.
2If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
3In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and instant yeast.
4Add olive oil and warm water, then mix until a dough forms.
5Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes until smooth.
6Let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
7While the dough is resting, prepare the toppings.
8Thinly slice the onion using a cutting board and knife.

12In a small bowl, mix together tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
13On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough to your desired thickness using a rolling pin.

15Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the sauce.
16Arrange the caramelized onions on top of the cheese.

This goat cheese pizza recipe is always a good idea for any occasion – whether you’re hosting a dinner party or need a quick weeknight meal. One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize – feel free to get creative with your toppings or try new combinations.

For storage, let the cooled pizza cool completely before refrigerating or freezing – then reheat as desired using your favorite method (oven-baked or toaster oven work well). To reheat in an oven, place the pizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
