A classic Margherita pizza with a simple but flavorful combination of tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Perfect for pizza lovers!
Ingredients: 1 pizza dough. 1/2 cup tomato sauce. 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded. 8-10 fresh basil leaves. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Set your oven to 475F 245C before you start cooking. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to the thickness you want. Spread the dough out on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Place the tomato sauce on top of the dough, making sure to leave a border for the crust. Add the shreds of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Tear up the fresh basil leaves and put them on top of the cheese. Put olive oil on the pizza and salt and pepper it to taste. It should be baked in a hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and a little browned. Once you take the pizza out of the oven, let it cool for a minute. Then cut it up and serve. Have fun with your tasty Margherita pizza!
