Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a large edgeless pan or pizza stone with non stick foil.
• Stretch out pizza dough.
• Mix olive oil, garlic, salt and oregano together and spread on the dough.
• Cover dough with mozzarella cheese and then top with the goat cheese, peppers, caramelized onions and olives.

Steps:

• To make roasted garlic sauce: Preheat oven to 450°F. Trim top of garlic bulb to expose cloves. Place bulb on a piece of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap foil around garlic and roast 40 minutes or until soft. Carefully pop garlic cloves into a bowl. Add 3 to 4 Tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Mash with a fork.
• Increase oven to 500°F and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
• Stretch each piece of dough using your hands, then lay each piece on a flat surface dusted with flour and roll out with a rolling pin. Sprinkle a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet with flour and place one dough on pizza peel.
• Spread roasted garlic sauce and Basil Vinaigrette over dough leaving an edge. Top with cheeses.
• Slide pizza off peel onto hot stone and bake 12 to 14 minutes or until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with second dough. Sprinkle both with basil, kosher salt, and additional red pepper flakes. Serves 4.
