Categories     Bake     Dinner     Pizza     Basil

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pkg Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough
mozzarella cheese, sliced into thin rounds - to taste
fresh goat cheese - to taste
1/4 cup pesto sauce (preferably homemade)
pitted kalamata olives, sliced - to taste
4 slices bacon
1 sweet onion, sauteed with a few sprigs of thyme until just turning brown
1 lb crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
1/4 cup grated Parrano cheese
sea salt - to taste
fresh ground pepper - to taste

Steps:

  • Mushroom Salad: Wash & slice mushrooms. Toss with olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and parsley and grated Parrano. Cover and refrigerate. Cook bacon until crispy, chop into bits when cool. Saute onions with thyme and set aside. Assemble pizza: spread thin layer of pesto over pizza dough with the back of a spoon. Distribute mozzarella rounds evenly over the dough, then add the kalamatas and mushrooms to taste (eat the rest of the mushrooms as a salad - delicious!). Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, remove from oven and distribute evenly the sauteed onions and bacon bits. Using a fork, scrape goat cheese evenly over the pizza, to taste. Bake 3-5 minutes longer until cheese is bubbling and crust is firm and beginning to brown.

I've made this pizza a few times now and it's always a hit! The pesto is so flavorful and the bacon adds a nice salty crunch. The cheese is melted and gooey, and the crust is crispy. I highly recommend this recipe.

This pizza was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less bacon next time. The pesto was good, but I would have liked it to be a bit more flavorful. The crust was also a bit too crispy for my liking.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this pizza. The pesto was creamy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the salty bacon and gooey cheese. The crust was also delicious - thin and crispy, with a nice chew.

This pizza was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pesto sauce to save time, and the pizza was still delicious. The bacon was crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. The crust was also perfect - thin and crispy, with a nice c

I made this pizza last night and it was delicious! The crust was crispy and the toppings were flavorful. I used a pre-made pizza crust to save time, and the pesto and bacon were simple to prepare. I'll definitely be making this pizza again.

This pizza was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the toppings were bland. The pesto was watery and the bacon was limp. The cheese was also not melted properly. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of pesto, but this pizza changed my mind. The pesto was creamy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the salty bacon and gooey cheese. The crust was also delicious - thin and crispy, with a nice chew.
