MAKES ONE 10-INCH PIZZA

 

Use any mix of small, sweet tomatoes - cherry, currant, and pear.

 

Preheat the oven to 500F.

 

Roll or stretch the dough into a 10-inch circle, set it on a floured peel

or pizza pan, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

 

Sauté the zucchini in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat

until tender and beginning to color, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and

pepper. Slice the tomatoes into halves or quarters and toss them with the

garlic, a little olive oil some pepper, and half the basil.

 

Distribute the mozzarella and zucchini over the dough, then add the

tomatoes. Bake on a stone or in the pan for 5 minutes, then add the goat

cheese and bake for 3 minutes more. Remove, drizzle with little extra

virgin olive oil, and sprinkle on the rest of the basil leaves.
