Expert Tips

For a heartier version, add 1/4 cup diced smoked ham to the pizza toppings.

To add crispness to the crust, sprinkle cornmeal over the greased pan.

OMG.... Such a great pizza, i love pesto. Great idea for u and the kids to spend quality time in the Kitchen together. We each made r own pizza’s my husband and I made the pesto with spinach and Chicken and the kids pizza was made with turkey pepperoni, spinach and cheese they absolutely loved it. it is a great substitution for pork which we do not eat and a homemade pizza is so much better than ordering out/ pizza and a movie great family meal….

i love this pizza so much. i used mushrooms, pepperoni, cheese, tomato sauce, bell peppers, red peppers, and lots of cheese. oh and before i put the pizza in the oven i beat one egg and spread it over the dough. it makes the crust crispy. (:
