A premade ball of pizza dough and store-bought pesto makes this Tomato Pesto Flatbread a super-easy treat to prepare. Pro-Tip: Baking the tomatoes in advance means you won’t end up with soggy crust!

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Harris Teeter Fresh Foods Pizza Dough, brought to room temperature
• 1 container Harris Teeter Fresh Foods Basil Pesto
• 1 Tbsp. Harris Teeter Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 4 large vine-ripe tomatoes
• 1 ½ cups Harris Teeter Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Fresh Basil Leaves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice tomatoes into thin rounds. Place them on a baking rack inserted on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and bake, about 6 minutes, or until moist of the seeds and excess moisture has baked out.
3. Meanwhile, roll out dough onto a greased pizza tray. Place in the oven and bake, about 8-9 minutes, or until lightly golden.
4. Remove the pizza from the oven and spread pesto sauce on crust. Top with mozzarella, then return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven and place the baked tomatoes on top.
