    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead until you get a smooth and elastic dough. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.

    2

    Roll out the risen dough into a thin, circular shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    3

    Spread the green pesto evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella.

    4

    Slice the fresh tomatoes thinly and distribute them evenly on top of the pizza.

    5

    Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and pine nuts, then add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.

    6

    Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    7

    Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
