I love making pizza, here is one I did this week with a great Frappato wine I paired it with. This Pie is made on a thin crust, cooked at 500 degrees on a pizza stone. It's loaded with flavor! How to make it -Rub the crust with a little EVOO and sprinkle with dry oregano -Layer on goat cheese and mozzarella to cover the crust -Cook 1 pound sweet Italian Sausage in garlic and rosemarry then place on top of the cheese -Saute baby bella mushrooms in EVOO place on next -Caramelize red and white onions place on pizza -Cracked black pepper top taste -Add a layer of shredded Gruyere cheese -Top with Arugula -Bake about 15-18 Minutes and finish with a Balsamic Glaze The snap of the crust, cool of the Balsamic and infusion of the three cheeses top and bottom make this a first class pizza. The Pairing
I chose a Sicilian wine called Frappato. Its a lighter red in the Noir range from Sicily that is on the lower Tannin side and full of grape aroma and and pairs great with veggies or in this case a white pizza. It's elegant yet has some complexity on the fruit side. It Really pulls out the cracked pepper and goat cheese in the pizza. You can fine this for about $20 at any major retail wine store.
