1 pound pizza dough (either store bought OR use this recipe OR this focaccia recipe)
1 bunch or ramps or spring onions or scallions (you may also use kale, spinach, carrot tops or basil)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup roasted nuts such as pine nuts, shelled pistachios or pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup grated hard cheese such as parmesan
salt and pepper.
Salt and pepper to taste
Shredded or cut up cheese (mozzarella, goat or any other cheese you like)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Divide each pound of pizza to 6-8 balls. Pour some olive oil on each ball and let rest.
In a food processor or mini prep, process all the pesto ingredients: greens, olive oil, cheese, nuts if using, and salt and pepper until smooth. transfer into a small bowl or jar.
Roll out each ball of dough either with your hand or a rolling pin. Stab the dough with a fork and rub some oil into it. Sprinkle with some salt. Measure about 1 tablespoon of pesto and spread it on the dough. Sprinkle with some shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until dough becomes golden.
Let cool just enough for the cheese to stabilize and serve.
