Ingredients: 300g Pizza dough; 200g San Marzano tomatoes; 200g Fresh mozzarella; 10 leaves Fresh basil; 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil; pinch Salt

A classic Margherita pizza delivers the essence of Italy in every bite—thin, blistered crust gives way to a tangy tomato sauce made from crushed San Marzano tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil, all finished with a drizzle of golden olive oil. The contrast of textures—crisp yet chewy crust, silky cheese, and tender herbs—makes each slice a perfect balance of simplicity and depth. Worth the effort for its bright, herb-forward flavor and the way it transforms humble ingredients into something extraordinary.
