Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough
  • Kosher salt
  • Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 8 ounces grated, low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 small meyer lemon, halved, thinly sliced, seeds removed (you can use a regular lemon here too)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Fresh chopped basil, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 500°F, and set an oven rack in the lowest possible position. Lightly coat a pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stretch pizza dough into a round large enough to fit the pizza pan. Very lightly drizzle the dough with olive oil, using your hands to evenly spread the oil around. Sprinkle dough with a small pinch of kosher salt. Top pizza evenly with pesto and grated mozzarella cheese, then scatter lemon pieces and goat cheese over top. Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then scatter evenly on top of the pizza. Finish with a sprinkling of kosher salt and crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Transfer pizza to the oven on the lowest rack and cook until the crust is golden brown (bottom and crust) and the cheese is nice and bubbly (9 - 11 minutes). Finish the pizza with a sprinkling of chopped basil.
