How To Make Artichoke, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese Pizza

1. Absolutely first, preheat your oven to 500F degrees, you’ll be popping that beauty in soon!
2. Next, you’ll want to roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface. Create a rough circle, it doesn’t have to be perfect, we’re not in a pizzeria. But try to keep the thickness even all around.
3. Then spread the olive oil on top of the dough. This creates a delicious, slightly crispy base when baked. Don’t forget the edges!
4. Now comes the fun part, the topping! Evenly sprinkle on your shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by your chopped sun dried tomatoes, chopped marinated artichokes and crumbled goat cheese. Top it off with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
5. Slide this masterpiece into the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is all bubbly and perfect. Enjoy!

Tips For The Best Results

• Not a fan of thick crust? No worries! Just roll the dough thinner. Just remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• Add some freshness by sprinkling some fresh basil or parsley on top after baking.

Storage Tips

• This pizza is best enjoyed immediately, but in case you have leftovers, store in an airtight container and reheat in an oven for best results.
