Default A Pesto Pizza

A Pesto Pizza

Once again, there is nothing that says one must put tomato sauce on a pizza. This is quite good, and calls for:

INGREDIENTS:

About a pound (500 g) pizza dough
1/2 pound (250 g) Provolone cheese, diced
1/4 pound (100 g) commercially prepared pesto sauce
2-3 plum tomatoes, chopped, seeded, and drained
Olive oil
Salt

Pull the disk and put it in a lightly oiled 11-inch (25 cm) pizza pan unless you are using a pizza stone or a wood fired oven. Let it rest for a half hour, and then bake it for 20 minutes in a 400 F (200 C) oven, or for about 5 in a pizza oven.

Note: Feel free to use home made pesto sauce if you'd rather.
