Pizza Margherita: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Everyone

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
  2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 475°F to 500°F or 245°C to 260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.
  5. In a bowl, season the crushed tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  7. Spread a thin layer of the seasoned crushed tomatoes over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Arrange the slices of mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce.
  9. Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone) and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  10. Remove the pizza from the oven. Add fresh basil leaves and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before slicing.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust toppings as desired.
