Pizza Margherita
Photo: Randy Mayor; Styling: Jan Gautro
This is our take on the traditional Neapolitan pizza resplendent with the red, white, and green of the Italian flag. Gently patting the tomato slices with a paper towel prevents the pizza from becoming soggy.
How to Make It
Step 1
Position an oven rack in the lowest setting. Place a pizza stone on the lowest oven rack.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 500°. Preheat pizza stone 30 minutes before baking pizza.
Step 3
Gently brush 1/2 teaspoon oil over Basic Pizza Dough. Pat tomato slices with a paper towel. Arrange cheese over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with tomato slices. Slide dough onto preheated pizza stone, using a spatula as a guide.
Step 4
Bake at 500° for 9 minutes or until crust is golden. Remove from pizza stone. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with basil, salt, and black pepper. Cut into 8 wedges.
