Tomato-Basil Pizza, Two Ways: An Experiment
- 1 whole Recipe Of Your Favorite Pizza Dough (homemade Or Store-bought Is Just Fine, Too)
- 1 jar Prepared Pesto
- Kosher Salt To Taste
- Fresh Mozzarella
- Roma Tomatoes
- Olive Oil
- Fresh Basil Leaves
- Fresh Parmesan Cheese
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- Press the pizza dough into a sheet pan (you can also use a pizza stone or grill).
- You can conduct your own taste test as I did, by making a half and half pizza, or choose your favorite way and make the entire pizza out of that.
- Tomato-Basil Pizza Made with Pesto: Smear the pesto over half of the pizza dough and sprinkle some kosher salt over it.
- Slice the mozzarella thin enough to cover the pizza thoroughly.
- Next, lay thin slices of Roma tomatoes over the mozzarella.
- Tomato-Basil Pizza made with fresh basil: Drizzle olive oil over the dough and sprinkle kosher salt over it.
- Wash and dry the basil leaves and lay them in a single layer on top of the olive oil.
- Top the basil with a layer of mozzarella and add a layer of Roma tomatoes.
- Go ahead and top with more mozzarella if theres any left.
- For Both Variations: Grate some fresh Parmesan cheese over the entire pizza.
- Bake the pizza according to the crust directions.
- And eat!
