Pizza Napoletana Margherita Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Xerxes / All my dishes 5 months, 4 weeks ago I first had this pizza at an outdoor piazza in Verona, Italy. One of its charms is its simplicity, both in ingredients and method.

Ingredients

Dough for 1 medium Pizza (separate recipe)

1 Tbsp farina or cornmeal

5 Italian plum or Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped

4 large, fresh Basil leaves, cut in strips

8 ounces fresh buffalo mozzarella, broken into 1/2" chunks

1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano or parmesean cheese

3 fresh garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup Olive oil

Directions

Once dough has been shaped, poke it with a fork all over* then brush with olive oil.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees

Arrange chopped tomatoes, sliced basil leaves and chunks of mozzarella, and sprinkle with the romano or parmesean.

sprinkle the minced garlic over the top and drizzle the entire pizza with remaining olive oil.

Sprinkle farina or cornmeal over baking dish, or if you have a pizza stone (a worthwhile investment in my opinion) and slide the pizza onto it.

Bake for 15 minutes or until outer crust is golden brown.

Serve with a Valpolicella, montepulciano d'abruzzo, or your favourite italian wine! Ciao!
