Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper
- On a clean surface, flour the area and roll out the pizza dough until it is ⅛ inch thick. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and pierce the dough with a fork to present air pockets when it bakes. Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While the dough is baking; add pecans, parsley, and garlic powder to a food processor. Process the ingredients until it becomes a coarse crumb and transfer to a bowl. In this mixture stir in the parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and set aside.
- After the crust is ready, spread the pizza sauce over the rust and top with mozzarella cheese, red pepper slices, and onion slices. Sprinkle ⅓ cup of the pecan mixture evenly over the pizza.
- Transfer the pizza once again into the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve with the rest of the pecan herb mixture.
