Homemade margherita pizza

Step-by-step method

    Mix flour, yeast, water, salt and oil. Knead 8 minutes, then cover and rise for 1 hour.

  2. 02

    Heat oven as high as possible (250°C if available). Divide dough in two, stretch and top with tomato and drained mozzarella.

    Bake on a very hot tray for 10–15 minutes until golden. Add basil after baking.

Kitchen tip

Drain mozzarella well to avoid a soggy crust.
