Preparation Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or use a pizza stone if available.
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter).
Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread a generous layer of the house-made tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough. Tear or slice the fresh mozzarella and distribute it evenly on top of the sauce. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella.
Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Finish with Fresh Basil
Remove the pizza from the oven and top it with fresh basil leaves. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve
Slice the pizza and serve hot. Enjoy your classic Margherita pie!
