INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "NOLA Pizzas - Basic Dough" recipe which is included in
this collection.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the baking stones in the oven. Using a
food processor with the metal blade, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts,
and Parmesan cheese. Puree the mixture until smooth. With the motor
running, slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of the olive oil through the feed tube and
puree until smooth. (Add additional olive oil if needed). Season the pesto
with salt and pepper. Remove from the food processor and set aside. To
assemble, spread an even layer of the pesto on top of the dough. Layer the
cheese over the sauce. Sprinkle the duck confit and tomatoes over the
cheese. Place in the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, about
15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven. Place the pizza on a
cutting board and slice the pizza. This recipe yields one 12-inch pizza.
