Recipe of Pizza Margherita

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon dry yeast

• ¾ cup (180ml) warm water

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Topping:

• 1 cup canned San Marzano tomatoes (or any crushed tomatoes)

• 200g fresh mozzarella (preferably buffalo mozzarella)

• Fresh basil leaves

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt to taste

Before We Start

• Preheat your oven to the highest temperature (250°C/480°F) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking tray inside to heat up.

• If using fresh mozzarella, drain and pat it dry to prevent excess moisture on the pizza.

Activate the Yeast

Step 1: Take a bowl, add sugar, yeast, and light warm water. Keep aside for 5-7 minutes to activate.

Prepare the Dough

Step 2: Take a large enough bowl to knead the dough. Add 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp oil, and the yeast mixture. Mix it by hand until crumbly, do a little knead, then turn it out onto a floured surface and start kneading it gently (don't fold it again and again, or it'll become hard). Do smooth punches, stretching, and folding, but not too much. Then transfer it back into the bowl with a little grease, cover it, and let it rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Prepare the Sauce

Step 3: In a blender, add tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Blend it, or you can crush it as well to make it a bit granular.

Shape the Pizza

Step 4: When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it in half, and roll it out into a round shape (10-12 inches). Place it on parchment or butter paper with grease or a floured pizza peel.

Pizza Assembling

Step 5: Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a margin of 1 inch from the core.
Step 6: Spread fresh mozzarella evenly and drizzle a little olive oil.

In Oven

Step 7: Place the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray. Bake for 7-10 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese becomes bubbly.

Finish

Step 8: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve your Pizza Margherita!

In Pan

Step 5: After rolling out the dough, heat a non-stick or regular pan over low-medium heat and grease it with oil. Heat it for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Place your plain pizza into it and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns crusty and brown, then flip it.
Step 7: Insert a fork 4-7 times into the dough. Spread your tomato sauce, leaving a 1-inch margin from the corner, and spread mozzarella evenly. Cover it properly, leave it over low flame, and let it cook for at least 4-7 minutes until the cheese melts.

Finish

Step 8: Remove the pizza from the pan, slice it, and enjoy.

Serve

Serve it hot with a sprinkle of herbs and a swirl of mayo. Slice, decorate the plate, and hand it over with any drink.
