For a deeper flavor, consider using a combination of pesto variations, such as sun-dried tomato pesto or basil pesto. Feel free to customize the fillings to your liking! Try adding sliced salami, roasted red peppers, or artichoke hearts. If you don't have pizza dough, you can use puff pastry for a flakier, richer bread. The bread is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a low oven to restore crispness.
