Pizza Margherita is a classic Italian pizza made with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. Here is a recipe for making a Pizza Margherita at home:
Ingredients:
1 pound pizza dough
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil leaves, to taste
Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a thin circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza pan.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Scatter the basil leaves over the cheese.
Drizzle the pizza with a little olive oil.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Note: You can also add other toppings to the pizza, such as sliced tomatoes, olives, or cooked sausage, if you like. Just be sure not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, as this can make it difficult to bake evenly.
