One 12-inch pizza

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
2. Lightly oil a 12-inch pizza pan and dust it with cornmeal.
3. Roll and stretch the dough to fit pan, leaving a thicker rim along the edge. Spread dough evenly with pesto.
4. Mix cheeses together and sprinkle evenly over the pesto. Place pizza on bottom shelf of preheated oven and bake until the crust has browned and the cheese is bubbly and just turning golden, about 20 minutes. Serve at once.

• If you are making pizza dough fresh for this recipe, add 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper to the dry ingredients.
