Prepare the Dough

  3. Spread pesto sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  4. Top with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake the Pizza
  1. Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
