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!
