Instructions
Completely thaw pizza dough. Preheat oven to 500F. Flour or oil your pizza pan or stone. Stretch the dough to 16″ round (or divide dough in half for two smaller pies). Spread on a thin layer of pizza sauce leaving a border around the outer edges for the crust, then layer on the mozzarella slices so that they cover the sauced area of the pie without overlapping. Spoon dollops of pesto across the pizza (it will spread as it bakes), then top with red peppers and other toppings of choice. Sprinkle with fresh basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, then bake 9-10 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
