Quick Tips
If you use a pre-made pizza crust, consider baking it in the oven before you add the toppings for a slightly crispier crust. Brush the crust with olive oil and bake at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Then remove from the oven, top with pizza toppings and bake again.
You can also make homemade basil pesto! Simply add the following to a food processor or blender and pulse until combined: 2 cups fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 2 garlic cloves (or 1 tsp garlic powder), 1/4 tsp sea salt (or more to taste) and 1/4 tsp black pepper (or more to taste). See our coaching tip for more on homemade pesto!
