- 1 clove garlic minced
- 8 large basil leaves chiffonade
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced half moons
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze or more, to taste
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
for the bruschetta mix
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients - tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
for the pizza (ingredients divided evenly between 2 pizzas)
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Place pizza stones in oven (if using).
- Roll dough out to (2) 12" round pizzas. If using a pizza stone*, sprinkle with cornmeal (to prevent sticking) and place dough onto hot stone.
- Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce onto dough, leaving about a half inch around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the pesto sauce.
- Add sliced red onion evenly on top of the pesto sauce.
- For the last layer, add the bruschetta mix and spread evenly.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes (this can vary greatly by oven so check the crust for doneness).
- Remove pizzas from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy!
Notes
- *if you don't have a pizza stone, you can use an upside down baking sheet. You may want to oil or butter the sheet first to prevent dough from sticking.
