    Friday: Homemade Pesto Pizza

    It sounds complicated, but it really isn't - I promise. How about this... you make the dough and everyone customizes it the way they like it. So, instead of making one large pizza, split the the dough in half before shaping it.

    Homemade Pesto Pizza Recipe No Tomatoes
    This pesto pizza recipe with no tomatoes, is the perfect alternative if you're looking for pizza that doesn't rely on traditional marinara sauce. This flavorful pizza skips the tomatoes letting the fresh ingredients of the pesto shine through.
