Pesto Prosciutto Pizza

Whether nightshades don’t sit well with you or you’re looking for a bomb af pizza recipe that doesn’t use a red pizza sauce - this is the read deal! It’s packed with so much flavor with a little kick from the pepper flakes - I hope you enjoy this one as much as my family does!

If you have a really good pizza dough like my overnight pizza dough, less is more on the ingredients listed below. I never really measure my toppings on my pizza, so just go with what feels good to you pending the size of your pizza. For example, using my overnight pizza dough recipe which yields about 12-14 inch pizza - I add a few swirls of olive oil about a teaspoon, a few pinches of parmesan and pecorino romano, 4-5 slices of buffalo mozzarella evenly placed on the pizza, 1/2-1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and about 1-2 tablespoons of pesto. Then finish with about a tablespoon of freshly chopped basil and fresh prosciutto 4-5 slices.

Ingredients:

• Pizza Dough (recipe here) or store bought

• Pecorino Romano (1-2 teaspoons)

• Parmesan (1-2 teaspoons)

• Buffalo Mozzarella (4-5 slices)

• Olive Oil (1 teaspoon)

• Pesto (1-2 tablespoons)

• Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 - 1 teaspoon) *plus more to finish if you like it spicy

• Basil (1 tablespoon choppped)

• Prosciutto (4-5 slices)

Instructions:

1. After your pizza dough has rested and easy to stretch - now is the time to form your pizza.

2. In order start with olive oil, parmesan, pecorino romano, red pepper flakes, buffalo mozzarella then pesto.

3. Cook your pizza until crust has puffed up and is a light golden brown.

4. Finish with basil, prosciutto and more red pepper flakes (if you like it spicier)
