1. 1

   First, make the pesto. Wash and pat dry the basil. Remove the stems. Put the oil and garlic in a food processor, and blend until the garlic is finely minced. Add the basil leaves and the nuts. Pulse the food processor until the basil and nuts are finely minced, but haven't become a paste. (If you don't have a food processor, just dice the garlic and basil as finely as possible.)

2. 2

   Slice the tomatoes. Spread half of the pesto on each partially baked pizza, top with half the cheese, and arrange the tomato slices on top. Sprinkle with black pepper. Finish baking the pizza as directed in the basic crust recipe. Yield: 2 pizzas.
