Store-bought pizza dough works perfectly for this recipe, but if you want to use homemade dough, it works great as well.

Do you use all-purpose flour in your dough? I switched to 00 grade flour in my pizza dough and it makes such a difference. Our favourite topping is caramelised onion and goats cheese.
