You might think that cooking anything on the bottom rack of the oven will result in a burnt mess, but pizza needs intense heat. The base of a hot convection oven is about as close as home cooks can get to their very own pizza oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce or pasta sauce
  • 1/4 cup pesto
  • 1 large Yukon Gold potato, peeled
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 Pinch salt
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Grease 12-inch (30 cm) pizza pan. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough and fit onto pan. In small bowl, mix pizza sauce with pesto; spread over dough right to edge.

Using mandolin or sharp knife, cut potato into paper-thin slices; arrange over dough, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with pepper, salt then cheese.

Bake on bottom rack of 500°F (260°C) convection oven until crust is golden, potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly, about 12 minutes.
