Pizza with Sun Dried Tomato Spread, Goat Cheese and 'Nduja

Pizza with Sun-Dried Tomato Spread, Goat Cheese and 'Nduja

you will need a baking stone and baking parchment paper for this recipe

makes 1 large pizza 

7 ounces pizza dough

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

3 ounces goat cheese, softened

1/3 cup California Sun Dried Tomato Spread

2 tablespoons La Quercia 'Nduja

freshly cracked black pepper

Preheat oven to the highest setting your oven will go and place the baking stone in the lower third of the oven.

Roll out pizza dough very thinly.  Brush with the olive oil.  Place a piece of baking parchment on a pizza peel or just on the back of a baking sheet (anything that will allow the pizza to slide off easily).  Place the pizza dough on the parchment and slide it off onto the baking stone, along with the parchment paper.  Bake for about 4 minutes, until the dough is set and it is starting to turn golden brown a little.

Remove the pizza dough from the oven.  Spread the goat cheese on it, followed by the sun-dried tomato spread. Place dollops of the 'nduja all over the pizza.  Grind black pepper all over the top.  Return to the oven and continue to cook for about 3 - 4 more minutes, or until the bottom of the crust is crispy.  Remove the pizza with a wide spatula (I use this fish spatula for pizzas) and slice and serve.
