This is among my husband's favorite dinners! The flavors compliment each other so well and it is so easy! I use frozen bread dough to speed the process. Set out dough before you leave for work and you are ready to go by the time you get home!

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • salt to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 sprig fresh basil, chopped

  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

  • ¾ 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.
