  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
 

Pizza Dough

  • In a bowl combine active dry yeast and water. Let stand for 5 minutes at least, or until yeast is dissolved. Transfer to bowl of stand up mixer. 
  • Transfer to bowl of stand up mixer. Add flours, sugar, salt, and olive oil . Mix on low speed for one minute. Using dough hook, increase speed to medium-low for 7 minutes. Can also knead dough by hand for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a bowl lightly coated with oil. Flip dough over to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450℉. Grease 2 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray. Lightly dust each baking sheet with cornmeal.
  • Punch down dough and divide it into two halves. Roll each half into a ball and let rest for 10 minutes. 
  • On a floured surface, flatten each ball of dough and roll out into somewhat of a 12 inch round. Transfer dough to baking sheets. Pinch edges all the way around to form a lip. Brush the top of dough with olive oil.

Blackberry and Goat Cheese Pizza

  • Add half of the blackberries to a food processor and pulse 3-4 times until coarsely chopped. 
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over both pizza rounds. Spoon crushed blackberries over cheese and then arrange fresh blackberries evenly over both rounds. Sprinkle goat cheese over both and add the garlic. 
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden brown. Add arugula and basil and serve. Enjoy!
