Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 8

Spread the sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the dough as the base layer.

Step 9

Tear the fresh mozzarella into small chunks and scatter them over the pizza.

Step 10

Dot the pizza with pieces of goat cheese for added creaminess.

Step 11

Add thin slices of red onion evenly across the top.

Step 12

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.

Step 13

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheeses are bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 14

Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

Step 15

Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired, slice, and serve immediately.
