Margherita Pizza
This has become a staple around our house! We love it so much, and it is so simple!
Margherita Pizza
Pizza Dough (We just go pick up Knollas dough, they sell it to us for like $2 and it makes the process go much faster then making our own.)
3-4 ripe tomatos
1T EVO
2 garlic cloves, minceed
3 fresh basil leaves
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Feta cheese
Pre-heat oven to 400
Place pizza stone in oven to warm while getting everything else ready! This will help your pizza be crispy!
Sauce:
(This isn't a regular "pizza" sauce, this is more of a tomato marinade for that light "margherita" feel)
1. Take the juice of two fresh tomatoes and mix them with the two garlic cloves.
2. Add tablespoon of EVO (extra virgin olive oil)
3. Let set for 10 mins. (BAM, your done with that! Moving on....)
Everything else...
1. Chop up your basil leaves.
2. Slice up your tomato really thin.
3. Shred your fresh mozzarella, parm and feta cheese.
4. Pull hot pizza stone out of oven, and spread your pizza dough out onto your stone.
5. Lightly brush your tomato sauce onto the pizza dough
6. Sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese.
7. Top with sliced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, parm and feta cheese! (Hint: put some cheese on top of your fresh basil leaves of they might get a little crispy in the oven)
8. Bake for about 10 mins or until crust is golden brown!
Enjoy!
