Pizza Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizza.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

  3. 3

    Add the Pesto Sauce

    Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add the Toppings

    Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and slices of fresh mozzarella evenly over the pesto sauce. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the top and place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  2. 6

    Finish with Balsamic Reduction

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with balsamic reduction before serving.
