Pizza Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Add the Toppings

    Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and vine-ripened tomatoes. Evenly distribute the mozzarella slices over the pizza dough. Add the sliced tomatoes on top, followed by a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bake the Pizza

    Drizzle the olive oil over the toppings. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  4. 4

    Finish with Basil and Balsamic Glaze

    Remove the pizza from the oven and top it with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the pizza and serve hot, enjoying the fresh flavors of the Margherita.
