Olive Oil Pizza

Category, DifficultyBeginner

Not every pizza needs a red sauce base, and that’s especially true during summer. Make your pizza pie a bit more vibrant with light, complex flavors. With Durant Tuscan Olive Oil as the base, this pizza shines. Use your favorite homemade pizza dough or pick up pre-made dough at the store. Once the dough is stretched, all that’s left to do is top, cook, and dig in for a slice. Recipe courtesy of Molly Allen.
