Description

Talk about easy! Almost everything in this tart is store-bought. Although it can be enjoyed shortly after leaving the oven, it's just as good at room temperature.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb prepared whole-wheat pizza dough (see tip below)
  • 1⁄4 c prepared pesto
  • 6 T dried cranberries
  • 1⁄2 c shredded fontina or swiss cheese

Instructions

1.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

2.) Sprinkle work surface and dough with flour. Press dough out and roll, stretch or toss it into a 14-inch circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Spread pesto on the dough to within 1/8 inch of the edge. Sprinkle cranberries and cheese evenly over the pesto. Fold 1 to 1 1/2 inches of the border over the filling all the way around, leaving the center exposed.

Bake the tart until browned and bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool the pan for 5 minutes before cutting into 12 pieces.

Prepare up to 2 hours ahead; serve at room temperature.

Tip: Look for whole-wheat pizza-dough balls at your supermarket. Check the ingredient list to make sure the dough doesn't contain any hydrogenated oils.
