Ingredients
  • 1 (12-inch) pizza dough
  • 2 cup Fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Roasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parigiano-Reggiano
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 450ðF (230ðC). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven now to heat up.
  2. 2
    While the oven heats, make the pesto. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the fresh basil, minced garlic, roasted pine nuts, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  3. 3
    Pulse the mixture a few times to chop the ingredients, then puree until smooth.
  4. 4
    With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil through the feed tube. Continue processing until the pesto is smooth and emulsified. Add more oil if necessary.
  5. 5
    Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the processor and set aside.
  6. 6
    On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. 7
    Spread an even layer of the homemade pesto over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  8. 8
    Distribute slices of fresh smoked mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto base.
  9. 9
    Scatter the julienned duck confit and the split, roasted Roma tomatoes over the cheese.
  10. 10
    Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot baking stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
  11. 11
    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly spotted.
  12. 12
    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
  13. 13
    Transfer to a cutting board, slice, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
