Margarita Pizza (monday Special) Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In another bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.

   Shape the Pizza

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

4. 4

   Add Sauce and Toppings

   Spread tomato sauce evenly over the base. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and distribute over the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Bake the Pizza

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

6. 6

   Finish with Basil

   Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Slice and serve hot.
