This delicious Mediterranean Pizza with Easy Homemade Crust recipe is topped with pesto, roasted peppers, and fresh mozzarella! So delicious!
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rest at this point for 10 minutes.)
Spread with pesto sauce Top with ricotta, fresh mozzarella, peppers, and finally the grated parmesan.
Bake on lowest oven rack for 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil.
