    How to Make Benno's Pesto Pizza

    1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven's broiler to prepare for cooking the pizza.

    2. Prepare the Pizza Base

    Place the parbaked pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread six tablespoons of basil pesto over the crust, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.

    3. Add Cheese

    Scatter a half cup of grated fresh mozzarella evenly over the pesto-covered pizza crust.

    4. Broil the Pizza

    Place the pizza under the broiler and watch closely, cooking until the cheese melts and bubbles, but without burning.

    5. Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, and then cut into four equal slices before serving.
