Pizza with goat cheese and olives

Pizza with goat cheese and olives

Hi! Zorra from 1x umrühren bitte aka kochtopf has a great blog event that I cannot miss as the theme of the event is pizza. And I love pizza. On this occasion I cooked a recipe from the book "1 Dough, 100 x Pizza". I must confess that I bought the book over a year ago, but I have never cooked any recipe from it so far. That will change now because everything has worked out great. The first recipe that I tried is: pizza with goat cheese and olives. And here is the recipe..

We need (for 2 pizzas):

For the dough:


300 g of wheat flour
1 tsp dry yeast
1 ½ tsp salt
175 ml of lukewarm water
1 tbsp olive oil 


      ingredients dough

      For the tomato sauce:


      1 tbsp olive oil
      1 clove garlic, crushed
      1 onion
      400 g of chopped canned tomatoes
      tbsp tomato paste
      1 tsp dry oregano
      salt
      pepper


          ingredients tomato sauce

          For the topping:


          cherry tomatoes
          50g pitted olives
          200 g goat cheese
          1 tsp Herbes de Provence
          salt
          pepper 


              ingredients topping

              This is how do we do it:

              For the sauce peel the onion and chop it finely. Add 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and onion in it and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano and simmer for about 10 minutes over medium heat until the sauce is spreadable. Season with salt and pepper.

              preparing pizza sauce

              The sauce can be stored in a jar with screw cap up to a week.

              For the pizza dough sieve the flour into a mixing bowl. Stir in yeast and salt. Make a well in the center. Mix the water with the oil and pour into the well. Knead to a smooth elastic dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and put it in a warm place for 1 hour (until the dough doubles its volume).

              preparing pizza dough

              Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Knead the dough again, halve it and shape into balls. Roll the dough out into rough circles on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin.

              Cut the goat cheese into thin slices. Halve tomatoes and olives. Place the pizza base on a pastry sheet. Spread with pizza sauce. Top with cheese, tomatoes and olives. Sprinkle with herbs of Provence. Season with salt and pepper.

              Pizza with goat cheese and olives before baking

              Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottom is crispy and the cheese is melted. Put it on a plate and serve warm.
