Heirloom Tomato, Chevre and Herb Pizza

There are few things that bring me back to childhood like the complex yeasty, savory, sweet smell of The Cheese Board. As a child I hated the "yucky" pizza my grandparents loved but I adored the "Chocolate Thing" and other morning bakery items. Now, as an adult, I occasionally like to branch away from beloved pepperoni and try more unique flavors- though sometimes The Cheese Board is still too unique for my tastes. "Why all this talk of The Cheese Board?" you may ask. This delicious pizza's crust and toppings were inspired by recipes in The Cheese Board Collective Works, the crust is crispy even if you don't cook it on a stone and the toppings are basic but delectable.

Toppings:

• 4 oz. low moisture mozzarella (shredded)
• 6 oz. traditional mozzarella (sliced)
