Indulge in the flavors of summer with this delightful Squash Blossom and Herb Pesto Pizza. The combination of fresh squash blossoms, aromatic herb pesto, and creamy cheeses creates a mouthwatering experience that's perfect for any pizza lover.
Ingredients: 1 pizza dough. 1/2 cup herb pesto. 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese. 10-12 fresh squash blossoms, cleaned and stems removed. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Instructions: Set your oven to 475F 245C and put a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into the shape you want. Put the herb pesto on the pizza dough and spread it out evenly. Leave a little space around the edges for the crust. Spread the mozzarella cheese out evenly on top of the pesto-covered dough. Put ricotta cheese on top of the mozzarella by spoonfuls. Spread the cleaned squash blossoms out on the pizza in a way that looks good. Add grated Parmesan cheese on top, and then add salt and pepper to taste. Carefully move the pizza to an oven baking sheet or pizza stone that has already been heated. Put it in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and a little browned. Take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before adding the fresh basil leaves on top. Your Squash Blossom and Herb Pesto Pizza is ready to eat! Just cut it up and serve it!
