Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pesto Arugula and Goat Cheese Pizza.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven according to the instructions on your pizza crust package—this is the first step to achieving that perfect, crispy base.
Step 2
Once your oven is ready, spread a generous layer of pesto sauce over the pizza crust, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for that delightful crust.
Step 3
Next, slice the goat cheese into thin, delicate coins and scatter them evenly over the pesto, allowing their creamy goodness to shine through.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to add some vibrant flavor—layer thinly sliced Roma tomatoes on top of the goat cheese, followed by a sprinkle of sliced garlic for an aromatic kick.
Step 5
To give your crust a beautiful golden finish, lightly brush the edges with a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 6
Carefully place your pizza directly on the preheated oven rack and bake it for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once it’s baked to perfection, take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes; this will help the cheese set just right.
Step 8
Finally, top your masterpiece with a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery crunch, slice it up, serve it to your friends or family, and enjoy every delicious bite!.
