Pesto Pizza

You won't miss the sauce when you bite into this easy-to-make pizza. The pesto lends a ton of flavor to the crust.

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated pizza dough

3 tablespoons store-bought basil pesto

pinch of red pepper flakes

pinch of garlic powder

2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese (either sliced thin or shredded)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 cup peperoncini, sliced

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), sliced

salt and pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Press out the pizza dough with your fingertips onto a pizza stone or a large baking sheet.

2. Spread the pesto onto the crust evenly, just as you would pizza sauce. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garlic powder.

3. Top with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Next, top with peperoncini and sun-dried tomatoes, or your favorite toppings. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Bake pizza for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is golden brown. Remove from oven, slice and enjoy!
