Home | Recipes | P
Appetizer Baked Bread Fall First cours

Ingredients:

  • Pizza Dough; (see recipe)
PESTO SAUCE
  • 1 Clove garlic
  • 1 c Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tb Pine nuts
  • 1/4 c Olive oil
  • 2 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

PREPARATION: Make the Pizza Dough recipe.
 
For the sauce, chop the garlic. Pur‚e the garlic, basil, pine nuts, and olive oil in a blender or food processor. Stir in the grated cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
 
Recipe can be made to this point several hours ahead.
 
COOKING AND SERVING: Heat the oven to 450øF. Pierce pizza dough several times with a fork and bake in oven until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and spread with pesto sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Serve immediately.
 
Yields: 1 13-inch pizza
 
NOTES : A pizza as simple as they come. For this pizza, the crust is baked unadorned and then garnished with pesto when it comes out of the oven. Be sure to pierce the dough to keep the crust flat as it cooks. Recipe by: Cook's Magazine May 1988
