  1. Margherita Pizza

What you will need:

Dough:

  • 600g (1 pound 5 ounces) fine white bread flour or Italian 00 flour
  • Two teaspoons of quick yeast.
  • Two tablespoons of olive oil

Toppings:

  • One can of whole Italian plum tomatoes (400g)
  • Two tablespoons of olive oil
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Two buffalo mozzarella balls
  • Three tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • Two tablespoons of dried oregano

Preparation:

  • Make a well right into the center of the flour and add the yeast, 4 tsp salt, olive oil, and roughly 300ml (12pt) lukewarm water.
  • Draw all the flour in from the sides and mix with your hands until combined, then knead for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Mix everything in a food processor until well blended, then knead by hand for 5 minutes.
  • Place it in a big bowl, cover it with oiled cling film or a moist cloth, and leave the dough inside a warm place till it doubles in size.
  • Chop the tomatoes to prepare the sauce.
  • Cook over medium heat till it thickens and very little liquid remains in a saucepan with the olive oil and sugar.
  • Preheat the stone in the oven, then slide the pizza onto the stove using a floured baking sheet. If you don’t preheat a baking sheet, you won’t get that tremendous crunchy crust below.
  • Preheat your oven to 230°C and set aside. Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each into a roughly circular shape using your hands and a rolling pin.
  • Place it on a baking sheet that is dusted with flour. Cover with tomato sauce and mozzarella.
  • Season the pizza with parmesan and oregano and place it on the heated stone or baking sheet.
  • Then bake it for 10 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve right away.

Wrapping Up

Customize the salt-chili-sugar combination to your taste and health. Also, eat in balanced proportions rather than in excess.
