Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 250 grams) Pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 200 grams Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), placing a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the center rack to heat with the oven.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough is resisting, let it rest for a few minutes, then continue rolling.

Step 3

Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. This will make it easier to transfer the pizza in and out of the oven.

Step 4

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce.

Step 6

Season the pizza with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the pizza for added flavor and a golden finish.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper, transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.

Step 10

While the pizza is baking, rinse the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry.

Step 11

Once the pizza is finished baking, carefully remove it from the oven using the parchment paper.

Step 12

Immediately sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza, allowing the residual heat to wilt the basil slightly.

Step 13

Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces, serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade Margarita Pizza!
