Recipe
Homemade Pesto, Mozzarella & Tomato Pizza
Ingredients
| 3 ¼ | cups Perfect pizza flour blend from King Arthur OR All-purpose flour |
| 1 ¼ | teaspoons salt |
| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 1 ¼ | cups warm water |
| 2 | teaspoons instant yeast |
| 2 to 3 | tablespoons homemade pesto |
| ¼ | lb. fresh mozzarella, cubed |
| 1 | cup cherry tomatoes, halved |
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 500F and place the pizza stone on the middle rack.
2. Mix together the pizza flour, salt, olive oil, water and yeast to make the crust. Once the ingredients are mixed together leave the dough ball in the bowl and allow it to rise for at least one hour.
3. Shape the dough into a circle (or, in my case, a rectangle) and brush the top lightly with olive oil. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden on top. Remove the pizza stone from the oven and brush the top of the pizza with the pesto, followed by the mozzarella and tomato halves. Return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
4. Cut into slices and serve.
