Margherita Pizza

Time to make your own pizza!!

My one regret for this recipe? I bought Pillsburry pizza dough instead of making my own. I think it's worth the extra step (and the saved pennies) to make your own!


This recipe started out with homemade pesto. My mama made it (so I guess I cheated) but it contained her homegrown basil and lots of it, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Spread the pesto generously across your pizza dough then add in fresh mozzarella slices (its much better than shredded mozzarella from a bag), halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, freshly ground pepper and some grated parmesan. Easy as that! 

I baked mine in the oven for about 10 minutes, brushing olive oil on the crust once or twice, wait to cool, and slice it up! This made great leftovers for lunch too. Delicious!
