Pizza Margherita
A fresh pizza with a unique sauce topped with fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.
Total Time20 minutes mins
Servings: 4
- 1/2 batch my pizza dough recipe see link below
- 1 can Italian blend diced tomatoes drained
- 1 tomato thinly sliced
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
- 4 basil leaves
Preheat oven to 400° with pizza stone inside. (If you are cool, like me, and don't have a pizza stone, the backside of a cookie sheet works great!)
Pulse the drained tomatoes in blender. Set aside. Roughly chop the basil leaves.
Shape dough into circle on parchment paper. (This makes it for an easy transfer to the hot stone or pan). Spread the sauce onto the dough. Top with cheese, tomato slices, and basil leaves.
Carefully slide the parchment paper onto the hot stone or pan. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy
