How to Make Pizza Margherita

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 475°F or 250°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a pizza stone, transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4

Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the sauce.

Step 5

Add the fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the tomatoes.

Step 6

Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the pizza, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza peel if you have one. If you're using a pizza stone, transfer the parchment paper and pizza onto the hot stone in the oven.
