Who doesn’t love a wonderfully simple and delicious MARGHERITA PIZZA?
This recipe will be such a hit!
It’s a simple fresh mozzarella & basil blend that is absolutely delicious.
I like to skip the time consuming step of making the dough and just purchase Tiseo’s Frozen Dough and let it thaw out the day of.
It will initialy look like this….a small, frozen ball. Lay it out on a baking sheet in the morning and let it thaw for dinner.
It will expand like this as the day progresses.
When you’re ready to make the pizza, punch down the dough and begin rolling it out to as large as you can get it.
Then you can add canned pizza sauce or make a homemade one
{recipe coming soon!}
Then slice up your fresh mozzarella and alongside those, place fresh basil leaves.
You will be left with this gorgeous pizza and all you need to do is bake it!
Preheat your oven to 450 F and bake for 15-20 minutes.
I mean, just take a look at that glorious melted cheese 🙂
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves
- pizza sauce, store bought or homemade
- pizza dough, i use tiseo's frozen dough
- fresh mozzarella ball
- If using frozen pizza dough, take it out in the morning and place on a baking sheet to thaw.
- When you are ready to use, punch out the dough and roll out to your thickness liking.
- Then make a homemade pizza sauce or use store bought. Spread it all over the crust.
- Slice up pieces of the fresh mozzarella and lay all over pizza.
- Then place fresh basil in the remaining open spots where there isn't cheese.
- Preheat oven to 450 F and then cook pizza for 15-20 minutes.
