Roasted Tomato & Pesto Pizza

Very few things are as rewarding as a fresh, homemade pizza. Something about watching homemade dough rise, rolling it out on the counter, and layering it with fresh toppings makes pizza taste so much better than anything bought in a store. I love this recipe’s combination of roasted tomatoes, pesto, and bubbly goat cheese. As a finishing touch, the balsamic glaze adds a little sweetness and burst of flavor to each bite. It is delightful!
