Margherita Pizza
Prep time: 00:15
Cook time: 00:16
Total time: 00:31
Yield: 2 Servings
1 (12-inch) round of pizza dough
3 tbsp tomato sauce (see recipe below)
Some good olive oil
4 or 5 basil leaves, torn into pieces
2 3/4 oz fresh mozzarella
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible. Place a pizza stone or tile son the middle rack of the oven and let it heat up for 1 hour.
2. Put the sauce in the center of the dough round and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the pizza, stopping about a half an inch from the edge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the sauce and scatter the basil on top. (Roberta's puts the basil under the cheese so that the heat from the wood-fired oven doesn't incinerate it.)
3. Break the mozzarella into several large chunks and distribute it over the pizza. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and bubbly.
