Ingredients

• 1 piece Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 ounces Goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup Artichoke hearts, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, torn
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, covering the edges as well.

Step 4

Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the dough, ensuring it’s spread out to distribute flavor.

Step 5

Evenly scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese onto the dough, leaving a small crust border around the edge.

Step 6

Dot the pizza with crumbled goat cheese for a creamy tangy flavor.

Step 7

Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, fresh spinach leaves, and chopped artichoke hearts across the pizza surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes over the toppings.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Scatter fresh torn basil leaves over the top and drizzle with balsamic glaze for a hint of sweetness.

Step 12

Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet vegetarian pizza!
