Balsamic Strawberry & Goat Cheese Flatbread

For our wedding anniversary we went to Cheesecake Factory where we got a flat bread with pears, blue cheese, caramelized onions, and arugula as an appetizer.  Delicious! I was on the lookout for other sweet/savory flat bread combinations and came across this one.  It would be a great appetizer for a party 

• 1 lb of pizza dough
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• olive oil, for drizzling
• 1 cup thinly sliced strawberries
• about 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• good balsamic vinegar
• 1-2 basil leaves, minced

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

On a well-floured surface, sprinkle about half the lemon zest over the pizza dough.  Knead it into the dough until well-incorporated, and then press the dough into a rectangle that measures about 12x9 inches (it doesn't have to be exact).  Drizzle with olive oil and about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.

Sprinkle the strawberries over the dough, followed by the goat cheese, and then drizzle lightly with the vinegar.

Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and just turning golden.  Drizzle with a little more balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with basil.  Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
