So Cal Pizza
1 pizza
Steps
- 1. Prepare the dough using either the stand mixer or food processor methods (you also can knead by hand; follow this video instruction for more). Follow the preparation instructions in the dough recipe if prepared in advance.
- 2. Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F.
- 3. Prepare the toppings: Mince 2 cloves garlic, thinly slice ¼ red pepper, ¼ yellow pepper, and ¼ red onion. Thinly slice (chiffonade) the basil leaves.
- 4. When the oven is ready, stretch the dough into a circle (see this video for instructions). Place the dough on a floured pizza peel or pull the pizza stone out of the oven and carefully place the dough on it.
- 5. Quickly assemble the pizza: Spread a thin layer of tomatoes onto the dough, then sprinkle on the minced garlic. Top with about 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Then add sliced peppers, onions, and dollops of goat cheese. Cut an avocado in half, then scoop out small pieces of avocado onto the pizza. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
- 6. Bake the pizza: Transfer the pizza to the oven on the pizza peel, and bake until the cheese is melted, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then garnish with basil and serve.
