MARGHERITA PIZZA

Grease a 9-inch pan or tray with some extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle some flour all over. You can even use cornmeal or semolina for sprinkling.

Roll to a thin pizza having 0.3 to 0.5 cm thickness.

Carefully lift and place the pizza in the greased baking pan or tray.

Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce.

Now top with mozzarella cheese.

Keep the pizza pan on the lower rack near the bottom heating element. This helps the pizza to get a nice crisp and crusty base. Only use the bottom heating element in the oven. Also keep your oven’s highest temp. (475 degrees Fahrenheit) as the highest.

Bake the pizza for 10 minutes until the base gets golden and the cheese also melts. 

Top with some torn fresh basil leaves. 

Drizzle some extra virgin olive on the margherita pizza before serving.

Cut with a pizza cutter and serve margherita pizza.
