This Pesto Pizza is made with homemade pesto sauce and homemade pizza dough. The pizza uses fresh ingredients and tastes yummy. This pizza is topped with zucchini, broccoli and fresh basil grown in my Balcony. This pizza is a must try …. If you want you can use store bought pizza base.
I have used Homemade Pizza Base, as I love to make the Pizza base at home so that I can customise the pizza size and thickness. The best pizza is made from fresh dough and not from a pre-baked pizza base.
