Pizza with Pesto and Tomatoes We have made this pizza three times now and it is quickly becoming one of our favorites. The recipe was inspired by a pizza that we enjoyed at a local pizza restaurant. I love the pesto as the pizza “sauce;” it is the perfect match for pizza crust. Tomatoes and [...]

Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough *Updated 7/11/11 to reflect a few changes that I think improve the recipe and resulting pizza crust!
