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
- Preheat oven to 500 F degrees.
- Roll out the dough into a 10 inch round pizza. I rolled out the dough very thin as I was making a thin crust.
- 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.
- Apply pesto sauce all over the dough.
- Arrange onions and green bell peppers over the pesto in whichever way you want to. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.
- Fold the edges of the crust (this is optional) and top the veggies with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 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.
- Slice and serve immediately.
