How to Make Margherita Pizza at Home

Producer:  Peuli Bakshi

 Ingredients: • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or grated • Fresh basil leaves • Olive oil • Salt, pepper, oregano and chilli flakes to taste

Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, usually around 475-500°F (245-260°C).

Roll out your pizza dough and spread the pizza sauce evenly over it, except at the edges.

Arrange fresh grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the cheese.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the pizza, and season with salt, pepper, oregano and chilli flakes to taste.

Put the pizza in the pre-heated oven and bake it until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
