Number Of Ingredients 10

Flour for the peel
2 8-oz. balls pizza dough (homemade or store-bought) at room temperature
4 to 6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
6 Tbs. minced garlic
1-1/2 cups coarsely grated mozzarella
2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick
Flaky sea salt
3 oz. fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1 cup coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 pinches dried oregano

Steps:

  • Put a pizza stone on the lowest rack
  • of the oven, heat the oven to 550°F,
  • and let the stone heat for at least
  • a half-hour.
  • Lightly flour a pizza peel. Stretch
  • one dough ball into a 10- to 11-inch
  • round and transfer it to the peel.
  • Brush the dough with oil and
  • sprinkle with half of the garlic.
  • Top with half of the mozzarella
  • and enough tomato slices to cover most of the surface in a single layer. Season
  • very lightly with salt. Top the tomatoes with
  • half of the goat cheese and Parmigiano. Drizzle
  • with another 1 Tbs. of the oil and sprinkle with a
  • pinch of oregano.
  • Slide the dough onto the hot stone and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is nicely browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat to make the second pizza.
