Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough

- 2 cloves Garlic
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them across the dough, ensuring even distribution.
Crumble the goat cheese and spread it across the pizza base, followed by a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped basil, parsley, and thyme. Sprinkle the fresh herb mixture over the cheese.
Season with sea salt, ground black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the assembled pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful herb and goat cheese pizza!
