A light, aromatic Italian pizza made with basil pesto sauce instead of tomato sauce. The pesto spread over thinly rolled dough is completed with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. It's a simple yet impressive choice for those seeking something different from classic pizzas.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Roll out the dough

8 min

Roll the pizza dough out thin and round on a floured surface.

2

Spread the sauce and cheese

5 min

Spread a thin layer of pesto over the rolled-out dough, distribute the mozzarella evenly, and arrange cherry tomatoes on top.

3

Bake in the oven

12 min

Bake in a preheated oven until the edges turn golden and the cheese melts.

4

Serve with parmesan

2 min

Sprinkle grated parmesan over the pizza as it comes out of the oven and serve hot. Note: pesto can turn bitter if left too long at high heat, so don't extend the baking time.

Reminder

Important: Pesto sauce can turn bitter if cooked at high heat for too long, so it's recommended to add a thin extra layer of fresh pesto right after the pizza comes out of the oven. Allergen: contains nuts (pine nuts), dairy products (parmesan, mozzarella), and gluten.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Don't leave a thick layer when spreading the pesto on the dough; pesto spread thinly gives a more balanced aroma once baked, whereas a thick layer creates a sharp, overpowering taste.
