Classic Margherita Pizza

Italian, Vegetarian  | Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, torn
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Method

  1. Mix flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Stir in warm water and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover and let rise 1 hour, until doubled.
  5. Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 500°F (260°C).
  6. Stretch dough into a 12-inch round on a floured peel.
  7. Spread crushed tomatoes, leaving a 1-inch border.
  8. Dot with torn mozzarella.
  9. Slide onto the hot stone and bake 8-10 minutes until the crust is blistered and golden.
  10. Top with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

Notes

For a crispier crust, let the dough cold-ferment in the fridge overnight instead of a single hour rise.
