  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices over the sauce.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  9. Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves.
  10. Slice and enjoy your fresh, homemade Margherita pizza!

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake the dough for a few minutes before adding toppings.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Use good quality ingredients for the best flavor.
