Tarragon Pizza Bianca

You can make or buy the dough while making this pizza from Bon Appetit. But if you are like me, you can just buy the pizza crust ready from any grocery store:)

There are some changes that I have made to this recipe. I'm adding the original recipe below.

I roast the vegetables before adding it as a topping, and skip the fennel altogether. I add more herbs such as oregano or substitute to basil instead of tarragon. I use fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese, it makes a great difference to taste. And I use goat cheese instead of the brie.

You can add more vegetables if you like. Because this pizza doesn't have any tomato sauce it is great as a appetizer.
