Instructions
Allow dough to rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 15-inch circle.
Roll the edges towards the center to form a crust, leaving a 12-inch circle.
Brush the entire crust generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, 1 sprig of chopped basil, and rosemary.
Bake in preheated oven until the crust begins to turn golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Spread the crust with tomato sauce.
Sprinkle with 2 sprigs of chopped basil and goat cheese.
Bake in preheated oven until the crust is brown, and the pizza has heated through, about 8 more minutes.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian on the menu? Try pairing with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
