- What kind of goats' cheese should I use?
- A cylindrical, ripened goats' cheese log (bûche) is sliceable and has a rind, whereas fresh cream cheese is softer. Here, the sliceable, semi-hard variety is best as it browns beautifully.
Pizza ai Formaggi di Capra (Goats' Cheese Pizza)
Goats' cheese is a divisive ingredient: you either love it or avoid it. This pizza is for the fans. The distinctive, earthy flavour of goats' cheese pairs with the neutrality of mozzarella to create a creamy blend, perfectly backed by the acidity of tomato. A simple but intense flavour experience.

Instructions
1
✓
Roll out the dough and spread with tomato sauce.
Tip: Leave a 1-2 cm border clean so you have somewhere to hold the pizza.
2
✓
Slice the mozzarella and goats' cheese, then distribute over the pizza.
Tip: Don't pack the goats' cheese too densely as the flavour is very intense.
3
✓
Sprinkle with oregano.
Tip: Oregano is tomato's best friend; its oils released during baking permeate the sauce.

✓
Bake at 230°C for 10-12 minutes until the cheeses melt and the edges of the goats' cheese start to brown.
Tip: High heat is needed for the dough, and the cheese can withstand it due to its fat content.
