I couldn't find a nice combination of ingredients for a pizza recipe that would be the perfect size to satisfy two people. I tried various recipes and finally came up with this. The pesto genovese recipe is not new for me, but I got the idea about heavy cream on the pesto from a restaurant I visited.

If you don't have all purpose flour, use 200 g of strong flour or a mixture made with 160 g of strong flour and 40 g of cake flour instead.
I used pizza cheese this time, but if you have mozzarella or mascarpone, I recommend you use them! The pizza will turn out even more delicious. Recipe by Natsumi

Steps

1

Put all ingredients for the dough in your bread making machine, select the pizza dough setting and press start. Prepare a 25 x 25 cm sheet of parchment paper.
2

Take the dough out of your machine and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Spread out the dough with your hands. Make the edges a tad thicker, for the crust. Preheat the oven to 392°F/200°C.
3

Gently pierce the surface of the dough with a fork, about 30-40 times.
4

Spread the basil pesto all over the surface, and very lightly pour some heavy cream on top.
5

Top with lots of pizza cheese and bake it for 20 minutes at 200°C.
6

It's done. Slice carefully so you don't get burned, and enjoy.
