This Margherita pizza is bright and fresh, and it's great for summer weeknight dinners. It's hard to say no to a pizza with juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil.
Ingredients: 1 pizza dough. 1/2 cup tomato sauce. 1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced. 1 large tomato, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 475F 245C. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Arrange the mozzarella slices and tomato slices on top of the sauce. Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza, and let it cool for a minute. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious Summer Margherita Pizza!
