Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough [homemade]
  • 1/3 cup pesto [homemade or store bought]
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ green bell pepper (cut into cubes)
  • 1 red onion (small, cut into rings and slices)
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 500 F degrees.
  2. Roll out the dough into a 10 inch round pizza. I rolled out the dough very thin as I was making a thin crust.
  3. Transfer rolled dough to a pizza pan sprinkled with cornmeal. Using a fork, poke the dough so that it doesn't balloon up while baking.
  4. Apply pesto sauce all over the dough.
  5. Arrange onions and green bell peppers over the pesto in whichever way you want to. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.
  6. Fold the edges of the crust (this is optional) and top the veggies with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake at 500 F degrees for 5 minutes and then rotate the pan 180 degree and bake for another 3 minutes till the cheese is all bubbly and melted.
  8. Slice and serve immediately.
