Easy Pizza Margherita
Ingredients
- 100 g Fresh Mozzarella Hand torn right onto the pizza I like best.
- 4 oz World's Best Pizza Sauce I use Bianco DiNapoli Whole Peeled Tomatoes. (recipe). Super quick and easy!
- Fresh Basil Generous handful. I go big!
- Olive Oil
- 1 dough ball Pizza Dough I'm using my easy no knead dough, but my naturally fermented (sourdough) recipe also comes out amazing. Using store bought dough? Check out my vid on How to Make Store Bought Dough Awesome!
Instructions
- Watch the video for the full how to!
- Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
- Begin building the pizza by applying 2-3oz (you just want a thin slick) of tomato sauce (I use a ladle) to the stretched dough.
- Add a generous amount of whole basil leaves
- Top with fresh mozzarella. You can tear the mozzarella into marble sized chunks directly onto the pizza or cube or cut into strips ahead of time.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Top with additional fresh basil if desired. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.
