Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic Pesto

1 jar sun dried tomato
1 cup olive oil
1 tbsp paprika
20 cloves fresh garlic

Combine ingredients in a blender and blend well. Put pesto in a mason jar and keep it in the fridge for weeks.

Personal Pizza:

1/4 of dough
1 tbsp pesto
cut veggies

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Pour 1/4 tsp olive oil to a round stoneware/ pizza pan and brush evenly or rub evenly.
3. Using rolling pin, roll dough thinly to the ware/pan, spread pesto, and arrange veggies on top.
4. Bake pizza for 30 minutes or until you want it done.

Crispy results is preferably delicious. Dough can be use to any topping your choice, with or without cheese, which I prefer without. And, you can use regular pizza sauce too.
