]]> 61984 1 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/82.jpg Add pine nuts Add pine nuts, basil, salt, and parmesan, and blend them until fine.

]]> 61985 2 90 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/90.jpg Add oil While the machine is still running, slowly add the oil, mixing until it’s emulsified. Put the mixture into a small bowl and set it aside.

]]> 61986 3 98 Tip Pesto can be kept for up to a week if covered and refrigerated, but it’s better to use it soon after preparing it.

]]> 61987 4 106 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/106.jpg Whisk yeast In a small bowl, whisk the yeast, a tablespoon of flour, and a quarter cup of warm water (roughly between 105° and 115° F). Let it sit until foam develops, which shouldn’t take more then 10 minutes. If it does, the yeast is dead—start again with a fresh package.

]]> 61988 5 123 Tip Some grocery stores and pizza parlors sell ready-made dough.

]]> 61989 6 128 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/128.jpg Make the dough Mix salt, 1½ cups of flour, the foamy mix, about 6 drops of food coloring (depending on how green you want it), and the rest of the water until incorporated.

]]> 61990 7 140 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/140.jpg Add flour Add half a cup of flour. The dough should not stick to you; if it does, add more flour a little at a time, up to another three-quarters of a cup.

]]> 61991 8 150 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/150.jpg Knead dough Spread flour on your work surface and begin to knead the dough, making sure to add more flour when dough begins to stick to you. Continue this process until dough has an elastic quality and feels smooth throughout. This should take about 10 minutes.

]]> 61992 9 165 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/165.jpg Divide dough Cut the dough into two equal pieces, and mold each half into a circle. Heavily sprinkle the dough and two medium bowls with flour.

]]> 61993 10 172 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/172.jpg Let dough rise Put the dough into the bowls, and cover them with damp dish towels. Let the dough rise to twice its size; this will not happen if dough is too cold, so put it in a warm area. This should take about an hour.

]]> 61994 11 187 Tip Dough can be put into the refrigerator, covered in plastic, and saved for 24 hours.

Roll out the dough to the desired thickness—ideally 9 inches around—adding additional flour if the dough gets sticky. Press down with your fingers, handling the dough as little as possible.

]]> 61998 15 224 Tip If you like your pizza dough thick, roll out the dough less and cook it longer at a slightly lower temperature.

]]> 61999 16 231 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/231.jpg Add pesto Put the dough onto your corn meal dusted cookie sheet. Place a thick layer of pesto in the center of the dough, leaving an inch around the parameter. Sprinkle on a quarter cup of mozzarella cheese, half of the spinach, and then a quarter cup of mozzarella cheese.

]]> 62000 17 246 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/163292/246.jpg Pinch dough Pinch the outside inch of the dough, pulling it slightly back into the pie.
