  • Increase oven to 500°F and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat up.

  • Stretch each piece of dough using your hands, then lay each piece on a flat surface dusted with flour and roll out with a rolling pin. Sprinkle a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet with flour and place one dough on pizza peel.

  • Spread roasted garlic sauce and Basil Vinaigrette over dough leaving an edge. Top with cheeses.

  • Slide pizza off peel onto hot stone and bake 12 to 14 minutes or until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with second dough. Sprinkle both with basil, kosher salt, and additional red pepper flakes. Serves 4.

The flavors of this pizza are delicious! I especially loved the tangy basil vinaigrette with the mellow roasted garlic sauce, and the combination of cheeses. Crust had good taste and texture, but I really struggle with the stretching and rolling and the transitions. I need more practice with dough!
