Here is the best way to make a classic Pizza Margherita in the comfort of your home. It always tastes better when it is homemade, and you can add toppings and adjust the recipe to fit your personal pizza preferences!
Ingredients
Directions
Mix the pizza flour and yeast package in a bowl.
Add 1 ¼ cup lukewarm water. Knead for 5-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and uniform.
Let the dough rise for about 1 hour in a mildly warm place, covered with a damp dishtowel or plastic wrap.
Split the dough into 4-5 buns and keep them covered until you are ready to roll them out.
Heat the oven to the highest temperature possible. If you have a baking stone, this is the time to place it in the oven. If you are grilling or baking your pizzas in a pizza oven, pre-heat those as well.
Take one bun at a time and roll out into a pizza - approximately 8-10 inches in diameter.
Distribute a suitable amount of mozzarella and pomodoro sauce over each pizza. Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza in a zig-zag motion.
Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 4-6 minutes. Pay attention to how they cook as every oven bakes differently. You may need to adjust how you bake the pizzas based on how your oven works - test and learn!
Remove the pizzas from the oven, drizzle some additional olive oil and a generous sprinkle of Pizza spices over the top to achieve that classic Italian pizza flavor. Buon appetito!
