Pesto Pizza

Ingredients
·          1lb White or wheat pizza dough
·          3-4 oz pesto sauce
·          1 cup mozzarella cheese
·          ½ cup broccoli
·          Parmesean cheese
·          Flour

Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 350 then lightly flour the pizza pan and spread dough to the length of the pan.
2) Put the dough into the oven for 3-5 minutes until the dough is no longer “doughy”. While the dough is in the oven, take time to cook the broccoli and cut down into smaller pieces.  
4) Take the crust and lift it off the pan to prevent the crust from sticking to the pan.  Then spread a thin layer of pesto sauce.  Now add the cheese and broccoli. 
5) Cook the pizza for roughly 10 minutes, or until the crust slightly browns.   
6) Add parmesan cheese for added flavor.  Then nom nom your heart out.
Serves 2-3

  1. I don't think broccoli on pizza sounds very appetizing, but I suppose it would be a good vegetarian option.
