Pizza Margherita is a classic Italian pizza topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. This simple yet delicious pizza showcases the flavors of fresh ingredients and is perfect for any pizza lover.
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature (usually around 250°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, forming a round shape.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking tray or pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.
Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
Slice and serve hot.
