Homemade Pizza

This pizza is one I created. It taste amazing using a variety of spices and herbs that get folded into the dough, and the pesto mixture on top allows for a great combination of flavors. For a better tasting pizza, instead of tomato sauce, use the special sauce recipe from this blog instead.
