Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
  • 1/3 cup prepared pesto
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 6-7 large grape tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven according to pizza dough directions (mine was 425 degrees).
  2. Pour balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan and place over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until balsamic vinegar reduces and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile roll out pizza dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread pesto evenly over the dough, then top with 1 cup cheese, the basil, tomatoes, and red onion. Sprinkle with remaining half cup of cheese.
  4. Bake pizza in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and slice. Drizzle balsamic reduction over each slice before serving. Enjoy!
