How to Make Basquadillas
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roast red bell peppers: Halve the peppers, remove seeds and membranes, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is blackened and blistered.
- While peppers roast, prepare the goat cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine crumbled goat cheese, chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and oregano work well), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and roughly chop them.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border.
- Top with the roasted red peppers.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
