Basil Goat Cheese Pizza

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* salt to taste
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 sprig fresh basil, chopped
* 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
* 3/4 cup Italian tomato sauce
* 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
* 2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

1. Allow dough to rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3. Roll 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.
4. Spread 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.
 
That sounds delicious! I really enjoy adding chopped plum tomatoes to pizza like this - and asparagus is another good addition.

If you make your own pizza crust you can make it healthier with whole wheat flower, and mix a bunch of italian herbs directly into the dough too. (DH makes really good pizza crust :)).
