Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 7

    How can we not talk about the 'Queen' of Pizzas, the Margherita, in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy.

  2. STEP 2 OF 7

    Make sure to preheat the oven for at least twenty minutes.

  3. STEP 3 OF 7

    Once it is well heated, grease a round, wide, and shallow baking tray, tear off a piece of dough with your hands and try to spread it as much as possible on the bottom of the tray.

  4. STEP 4 OF 7

    Then place the sliced mozzarella on top, the tomatoes that you have cut into pieces, and season with salt and basil; sprinkle with Parmigiano and drizzle everything with oil.

  5. STEP 5 OF 7

    Bake and cook for about fifteen minutes: when you take the pizza out of the oven, you can add more fresh basil if you like.

  6. STEP 6 OF 7

    With 1000 g of dough, you can make 3-4 pizzas.

  7. STEP 7 OF 7

    You can bake two at a time.
