Here is a unique Pizza Margherita recipe with accurate measurements and ingredients:
(Servings: 1-2)
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
8-10 fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until yeast is activated.
2. Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, kneading the dough for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) with a baking stone or baking sheet.
6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a 12-inch circle or rectangle.
7. Transfer the dough to the preheated stone or baking sheet.
8. Spread the crushed tomatoes, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
9. Top with sliced mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves.
10. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips and Variations:
- Use a pizza peel or a piece of parchment paper to transfer the dough to the oven.
- Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Use fresh tomatoes instead of San Marzano, but cook them down to create a similar consistency.
- Add some garlic or oregano for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and authentic Neapolitan-style Pizza Margherita!
