Classic and Simple Margherita Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or torn into pieces
- Fresh tomatoes, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza dough package or to 450°F (230°C) if using homemade dough.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. If using a baking sheet, lightly grease it or line it with parchment paper.
- Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to prevent it from getting soggy.
- Spread a layer of pizza sauce or marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the fresh mozzarella cheese slices or torn pieces over the sauce, distributing them evenly.
- Place the sliced tomatoes over the cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and distribute them over the top.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve.
