- Place the dough in lightly floured bowl and cover with a towel, set aside for 1 hour. (The pizza steel or stone needs to preheat for 1 hour as well, so preheat oven to 550 degrees after you finish making your pizza dough)
White Cheddar Pesto Sauce*
- Grate cheddar cheese.
- Heat large pot to medium and melt butter, whisking constantly. Add flour and whisk 30 seconds. Add cream and whisk to mix well, then add white cheddar, pesto, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and whisk until desired thickness. Reserve 1 cup of cheese sauce for the pizza sauce. Use remaining cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese.
Macaroni and Cheese*
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then add noodles. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain. Add remaining cheese sauce and mix well. Reserve 2 cups of mac n cheese.
PIZZA (8-10 minutes)

- Preheat oven to 550 degrees F. with baking steel or pizza stone inside the oven for 1 hour.
