Ingredients

1 quantity basic pizza dough (see here)
1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
110g goat's cheese, crumbled
150g ricotta, crumbled
120g baby rocket

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Preheat two pizza stones or grease two pizza pans or baking trays. Halve dough and roll out each piece to a 33cm x 22cm rectangle. Place on trays or pans.
2. Brush pizzas with 1 tablespoon of oil. Combine garlic and goat's cheese in a bowl. Crumble over pizzas and top with ricotta. Season with freshly ground pepper and drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil.
3. Bake for 15 minutes until pizza is browned and base is crisp. Top with rocket, season to taste and drizzle with remaining oil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

This fresh, flavoursome tomato sauce is used as a base for most pizzas. Instead of fresh tomatoes, drained canned whole tomatoes may be used.
Bocconcini are small fresh mozzarella balls with a mild slightly sweet,
fresh taste. They are packed in water or brine and will keep well for at
least 2 weeks if left unopened. Once opened, use within 2 days and store in
original liquid in container.
