Easy Goat Cheese Pizza Recipe

A surprisingly satisfying pizza — no leftovers guaranteed!

This pizza take is an improved and more well-balanced version of a pizza. With a combination of different cheeses, topped with leafy greens, prosciutto, pear and fig, you'll want to add this seasonal pizza to your table when pear season is at its ripest. For the perfect crusted pizza, we baked it using the Nordic Ware Naturals Jelly Roll Pan. If you don't have a baking tray big enough for the pizza, this recipe can also be cooked using a traditional pizza stone. This recipe is easy to prep on weekdays and makes a great weekend lunch meal. If you like your pizza a little tangier, drizzle balsamic on top and enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 pre-packaged pizza dough

Method: 1. Preheat oven 200°C. Grease a Jelly Roll Sheet Pan with ½ the olive oil. Press pizza dough into pan. Bake for 10 minutes or follow the package instructions on how to prebake the base. 2.

Layer the pizza starting with sliced pears then following with figs, prosciutto and crumbled goat cheese. 5.
