Join me and let's see how to make Margherita Pizza

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 500°F or 260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
  • Step 2
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Step 3
  • Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. This will make it easier to slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone later.
  • Step 4
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  • Step 5
  • Arrange the sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato sauce.
  • Step 6
  • Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 7
  • Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone if you're using one) and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Step 8
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, scatter fresh basil leaves over the top, and drizzle with a bit more olive oil if desired.
  • Step 9
  • Slice and serve your delicious homemade Margherita pizza. Buon appetito!
