To cook:
Level: Easy
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- ½ pound Pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup Pizza Marinara Sauce (or To taste)
- 8 ounces, weight Fresh mozzarella ball, sliced
- 2 Tomatoes, sliced
- ⅓ cups Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- ⅓ cups Marinated artichokes, chopped
- ⅓ cups Pesto
- ½ cups Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Preparation
If you are using your own dough from scratch, preheat the oven and prepare the dough according to your recipe instructions. If using store-bought, preheat oven and prepare batter according to package directions.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza, leaving some space around the edges for the crust. Top with mozzarella slices, tomato slices, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes. Spoon pesto evenly over pizza.
Place in oven and bake according to crust instructions. (When using fresh dough, you generally want to bake it at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is crispy and golden. Be sure to check the recipe/packaging carefully you are using.)
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil (optional). Enjoy!
