INSTRUCTIONS
- Begin by either making your homemade pizza crust or preparing your store-bought crust to the directions on the package. You can always make your homemade crust a day ahead so your ready to go the next day.
- While the pizza crust is baking or already complete its time to make the pesto. Combine all the pesto pizza sauce ingredients in your high-speed blender or food processor and blend everything on high until smooth and creamy. It may take a few minutes to come together, scrape down sides as needed and if still to thick as 1 tsp of olive oil at a time to help blend through to desired consistency.
- Time to build your pizza! We used a 12-inch store bought sourdough crust which fit beautifully in our Xtrema 12-inch Versa Skillet. If you made homemade crust, feel free to roll your dough into 10 or 12-inch rounds so it will fit into either of our Versa Skillets effortlessly. Spread that pesto sauce all over the bottom of your crust leaving a tiny rim for the crust. Next, pile on the broccoli, green olives, and sprinkle of plant-based parmesan before cooking. * Feel free to add any cheese alternatives or regular mozzarella at this time to custom your pizza to your preferences! Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted ( if you added cheese) or until the crust is golden brown! Sprinkle with kale micro greens and serve hot right in your non-toxic Xtrema Skillet at the dinner table. Enjoy!
