Pesto Pepper Pizza

September 3, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Pesto Pepper Pizza is a vegetarian pizza that utilizes pesto in place of pizza sauce to give it an extra zing and is topped off with sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese.

Here is another recipe using home made pesto, (click here to be directed to my recipes for Pesto 3 Ways). For the Pesto Pepper Pizza I used Celery Pesto as the sauce. I topped it with strips of sweet red bell pepper and freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until golden brown and you have a tasty pizza that you can’t put down!

Try my recipe for Pizza Dough for the Pesto Pepper Pizza or a store bought dough would work also. If you make my Pizza Dough, consider making my recipe for Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza or my recipe for Four Cheese Pizza.

Enjoy!

Four Cheese Pizza

April 2, 2014 by Kay 9 Comments

Four Cheese Pizza has an infused garlic oil for the “sauce” and is topped with four cheeses (I’m guessing you already knew that from the recipe title).

Yesterday I posted a recipe for Pizza Dough and as promised I am back with a recipe to top that pizza dough with! I really like the cheese combination on this pizza. Of course there is mozzarella and parmesan, two cheeses I always use on my pizzas and I’ve added cheddar cheese and blue cheese.

If you’ve never tried blue cheese on a pizza, I urge you to try it. My husband, Mr. B and I love blue cheese on pizzas. I will warn you though, you don’t want to use too much blue cheese or it will over power the other cheeses. My recipe calls for 1/2 of cup and that is plenty.

I think you will also like the garlic infused olive oil I use in place of pizza sauce. The garlic really shines through on this pizza and goes well with the strong flavors of the cheese. Of course, you can use pizza sauce if you like, the pizza will be good with either sauce.
