Cheesy Sesame-Crust Pizza with Herb Tomato Sauce

🔥 How to Make It:

1. Preheat & Prep Dough:
   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Make the Sesame Crust:
   Brush the outer edges of the dough with olive oil. Press sesame seeds into the crust to create a golden, nutty border.
3. Cook the Sauce:
   In a small pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes and herbs. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Pizza:
   Spread the herb tomato sauce over the dough, avoiding the sesame crust. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and any other toppings you like.
5. Bake:
   Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden and crisp.
6. Finish & Serve:
   Let it cool slightly, garnish with fresh herbs, slice, and serve!

💡 Tips & Variations:

• Add a drizzle of chili oil or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
• Swap in goat cheese or feta for a more gourmet twist.
• Try it with roasted veggies or spicy sausage if you want to amp up the toppings.
