Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces (crumbled) Goat cheese
- 0.33 cup (roughly chopped) Walnuts
- 2 cups Fresh arugula
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to approximately 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 3
Brush the dough with olive oil, ensuring an even layer across the surface. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the oil.
Step 4
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese across the pizza, leaving about an inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Step 5
Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the mozzarella layer.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of the pizza for added crunch.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the parchment paper and pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Step 8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
Top the pizza with fresh arugula and drizzle with honey for a hint of sweetness.
Step 11
Season with a sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste before slicing and serving.
