About

With only three toppings, this pizza strikes a delicious balance of creamy cheese, juicy tomatoes, and aromatic herbs. You can swap out the basil pesto for Olive Tapenade, and add dollops of ricotta for equally tasty results.

Method

Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and place a pizza stone on the rack. Preheat the oven to 550°F/290°C (or as high as it will go). Once the oven has reached 550°F/290°C, let the stone continue to heat for 15–30 minutes longer, without opening the door.
