I’ve been on a pizza kick lately and since it’s a cold snowy day here in Colorado, I thought I would make a summer inspired pizza. This is another extremely versatile recipe as you can pick and choose your toppings and spices. I use the pizza crust recipe from Grass Fed Girl; it’s not a typical pizza crust since there is no gluten but it definitely hits the spot when I want pizza! I double this recipe because we like leftovers but if you are a family of four, it should feed all of you if you include a side salad or vegetable.
Since it’s cold and snowy here, I was too lazy to go to the store to buy tomatoes. I typically top my pizza with these but not today; I do recommend them though as a topping! I also had leftover pesto in my freezer from the summer to use as the base; you can easily substitute store bought pesto a well. I was also very hungry when making this pizza and consumed all of the prosciutto I was going to top it with…opps! Again, I totally recommend that as a topping as well, adds some protein and nice saltiness with the pancetta. If you want to make this a “breakfast pizza”, top it with a few raw eggs over the rest of the toppings and place it in the oven!
Enjoy!
