Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
On a floured pizza peel, dust the dough with flour and create a crust around the perimeter of the dough and flatten down the center.
Stretch it out on the backs of your hands, left hand over right hand, until the dough is roughly 12-inches around.
Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.
Spread the pesto evenly on the dough.
Evenly distribute mozzarella pieces.
Top with tomato slices and add more cheese pieces if desired.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Gently mop any wet areas with a paper towel.
Top the baked pizza with small crumpled pieces of prosciutto.
Sprinkle grated Pecorino, black pepper and basil leaves over the pizza.
