Pizza Base and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle or rectangle to fit your baking sheet or pizza stone.

  3. 3

    Add the Pesto

    Spread the basil pesto evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.

  4. 4

    Layer the Toppings

    Evenly distribute the artichoke hearts, Greek olives, and halved grape tomatoes over the pesto-covered dough.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Season

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings. Drizzle olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
