Ingredients:
For the Dough:
300g 00 flour
225g water (lukewarm)
2-4g yeast (about 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast)
4-6g salt (about 1 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for a smoother dough)
For the Toppings:
150g to 200g tomato sauce (preferably made from San Marzano tomatoes)
200g fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or torn into pieces
Fresh basil leaves
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the 00 flour and salt.
Add yeast to the 35°C water and let yeast to be activated.
Gradually add the water while mixing to form a sticky dough.
If using olive oil, add it during this mixing stage.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes,let it rest (covered) and then knead for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
2. First Rise:
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size or 14 hours at least in the fridge for cold fermentation.
3. Shape the Dough:
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into two portions if making smaller pizzas.
Shape each portion into a ball and let it rest for about 1-2 hours under a damp cloth(room temperature).
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
4. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to its highest setting (around 475°F to 500°F or 245°C to 260°C).
If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Final part:
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Put the dough in the oven for 2 minutes for pre cooking the dough.
(Do it quickly to keeping the oven temperature high)
Distribute the fresh basil under the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce.
Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Transfer the pizza back to the oven (onto the pizza stone if using) and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once out of the oven, scatter fresh basil leaves and any othe toppings you want over the pizza. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil if desired.
Serve:
Slice and serve your homemade Margherita pizza while it’s hot!
Tips:
Using a Pizza Stone: Preheating a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust by retaining and evenly distributing heat.
Slow Fermentation: If you have time, let the dough rise slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours after the initial rise. This enhances the flavor and texture.
