pesto and proscuitto pizza idea

Prosciutto and pesto pizza

I had a few small pieces of cheese in the fridge to use up, so I made a pizza. The pizza dough recipe I use is from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. This recipe is very similar.

I spread 2 tablespoons of basil pesto onto the dough. I topped the layer of pesto with feta, asiago and fontina cheeses, as well as sliced prosciutto and roasted peppers.

I baked the pizza on a stone at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes. After the pizza came out of the oven, I sprinkled it with a chiffonade of basil.



devra's thought -- try something like this with the mushroom pesto from 'everyday italian'
