I am so excited to finally be bringing this recipe all together for you! You’ve mastered the homemade restaurant style pizza crust and I’m sure that you have been snacking on the delicious nut free pesto. Now on to the main event, homemade supreme pizza. We are still loving pizza night and making pizza at home means no lines or noisy restaurants. No spending an hour waiting for a table or wrestling a toddler in a booth while you eat as fast as you can.
- 1 recipe for homemade pizza dough (found here, insert link)
- 1 cup homemade pesto (found here, insert link)
- 4 slices sandwich pepperoni
- 4 slices genoa or hard salami
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 jalapenos, thin sliced
- Preheat the oven to 425
- Use room temperature pizza dough that has been resting for at least 10 minutes. If the dough was made the day before, leave it out for 20 minutes before using.
- Stretch the dough out onto a 14” pizza round or use an appropriately sized cookie sheet for a thin “party pizza”
- Spoon the pesto onto the dough and swirl around to evenly distribute and work to the edges.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella over the whole pizza.
- Here is a great tip* - add cheese heavier to the outer edges , it will melt towards the middle as the pizza cooks and the edges rise. This way you avoid a “cheeseless” outer edge.
- Add the pepperoni and salami.
- Add the vegetables.
- Top with the pepper jack cheese, or if you chose to omit that ingredient you are done!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
