Pizza. Yes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 6 oz pizza dough
  • pinch of crushed red pepper
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded part-skim-milk mozzarella
  • 1 tsp chopped summer savory
  • 1/4 pound summer squash, thinly sliced on a mandoline
  • 2 oz fresh goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 500F. Preheat a pizza stone. In a small bowl, combine the 1 tbsp olive oil with the minced garlic and let stand. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to form a 12" round, 1/4" thick. Transfer the round to a lightly floured pizza peel.
  2. Leaving a 1/2" border of dough, brush the round with the garlic oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper, salt and black pepper. Scatter the onion slices over the round; top with the mozzarella and savory. Arrange the squash slices on top in a single layer, overlapping them slightly. Dot with the crumbled goat cheese.
  3. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for about 5 minutes, until the bottom is crisp and the squash is slightly browned.
  4. Transfer the pizza to a work surface. Sprinkle with the walnuts and drizzle with olive oil. Cut into wedges and serve.
