Pizza With Pesto Base | Rasaala

Ingredients

• 31/4 + 1/4 cups all purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat; extra flour is for dusting )
• 1 packet active/instant dry yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar or honey
• 1 cup warm water (not hot, not cold, but warm enough for the yeast to develop)
• 1 medium red onion
• 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (I use the kind packed in oil, you may experiment with dry ones)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup goat cheese
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional; can also use other flavorings such as italian spices, oregano, thyme, dried basil etc. to flavor the crust)
• 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil (to oil the bowl, and to add in the dough)
• 1 cup pesto sauce (I made pesto with half cup arugula and half cup basil, 1/2 cup pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, salt; can use store bought)
• Pizza pan Pizza stone works really well (For crispier pizza, use a pan that has holes)
• Traditional Oven to bake
