Ingredients:
Pizza
- 16 ounces prepared whole wheat pizza dough
- 1½ cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella
- 5 ounces goat cheese
- 1½ cups (about ½ pound) chopped strawberries, leafy ends removed and sliced
- into ¼-inch thick rounds
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chiffonade into short little strips
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic reduction
- ½ cup Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Roll out your pizza dough into a 12 to 14-inch round on a floured surface. Top the pizza dough with the shredded mozzarella, big crumbles of goat cheese, and strawberries. Bake on a lightly oiled baking sheet (or on a pizza stone, if you have one) until the cheese is bubbling and golden and the crust is crisp underneath, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, combine Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar and honey. Gently simmer the mixture on medium-low heat until it is reduced in volume by half (this should take about 10 to 15 minutes) and set aside.
Once the pizza is done baking, top it with a sprinkle of basil and freshly ground black pepper.
Drizzle with Strawberry Balsamic Mixture.
