Tomato & Pesto Pizza



This pizza is bursting with flavor! There's somthing about the combination of tomatoes, pesto, and cheese that is just flat out amazing. It's simple and FRESH, yet sinfully mouthwatering.

1 pizza dough, rolled out (homemade or Rhodes frozen bread, thawed)
1/4 c. pesto
2-3 c. mozzarella cheese (FRESH, sliced mozarella is best, but shredded is ok too... that is what we used in the picture)
2-3 fresh tomatoes, sliced
salt & pepper
Parmesan cheese
fresh basil, dried and crushed

Spread pesto onto the pizza dough. Layer (or sprinkle) cheese on top of the pesto. Arrange tomatoes on top of the cheese and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Add any remaining mozzarella, then sprinkle with Parmesan and basil. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes (check after 10 minutes). Serve immediately.
