  2. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius
  4. Sprinkle a small amount of flour or cornmeal onto a large baking sheet and roll out the pizza dough to desired thickness. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes, or until it’s firm.
  5. Remove the pizza crust from the over and spread the beet pesto onto it. Add the goat cheese on top in pinch-sized dollops.
  6. Sprinkle pine nuts across the pizza.
  7. Place back in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes – the crust should be golden brown and crispy.
