Goat Cheese Pizza

Last night I made the easiest pizza ever!  I love Trader Joe's and they have pre-made balls of pizza dough that you can buy and take home to make whatever you want: pizza, calzone, stromboli, ect.  So here's what I came up with.  There are very few ingredients, but sometimes the simpler the better!

Goat Cheese Pizza
Ingredients:
-1 ball pizza dough (or make your own favorite recipe)
-1 cup marinara sauce (I used Trader Joe's Tomato Basil)
-4 oz crumbled goat cheese
-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-1/2 cup parmesan cheese
-1 small onion (thinly sliced)
-1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Roll out pizza dough on floured surface into your desired shape.  Top with marinara, followed by mozzarella, onion and goat cheese.  Sprinkle parmesan, oregano & red pepper flakes on top.

Bake for 15 minutes (or according to your pizza dough recipe).  Enjoy!!

Cottage Mama's Note:  My husband loves to have this pizza with Frank's Hot Sauce, so if you have someone in your life that likes it hot, serve it up with Frank's.  This pizza would also be great with spinach if you are trying to get some extra green into your family.

  2. Yum-o! I love TJs and their goat cheese, but I've never had good luck with their pizza dough for some reason--it seemed to thick and doughy. Too bad, because it's so convenient. I should give it another try.
    P.S. I love your house!!

  3. I find that I have to roll the Trader Joe's dough out as thin as it will possibly let me (like right before it would break) because it does rise a lot in the oven and you're right, can be super doughy.

    Thanks so much about our house! We've gotten a ton of snow here lately - I've been meaning to post a picture of our "snowy cottage". I love old homes and we have been so lucky to be able to restore this one!!

    Thanks so much for commenting!!
