Pizza Margherita
Probably the easiest and the most healthy kind of pizza ever invented. I'm not big on vegetables but i welcome this pie anytime on my table.
A tip: best served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip (but it is optional if you want to savor your pizza the way it is).
Here it goes:
Ingredients:
2 tbsps. extra virgin olive oil, additional for dough
1/4 kg. plum tomatoes, chopped in 1/2" pieces
1 clove garlic, crushed and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 12" prepared pizza crust
6 oz. (or half cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
6 basil leaves cut into julienne strips
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Combine 2 tbsps. olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Allow to marinate.
Brush pizza crust lightly with olive oil.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, then the marinated tomatoes.
Bake in preheated 500F oven for 8-10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven and top with parmesan cheese, then basil.
Cool on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
