Pizza Margherita is definitely my favorite pizza pie out there! Light and delicious, this traditional Italian pizza makes a wonderful appetizer, or a light main course.
Pizza Margherita
2 thin 12-inch precooked pizza crusts
8 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
6 roma tomatoes
1 cup basil leaves, julienned
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
salt
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Brush olive oil onto pizza crusts (use about 1 tablespoon for each pie). Place toppings in the following order: basil for the first layer, tomatoes for the second layer, mozzarella for the third layer, and finish with garlic for the top. Next, lower oven heat to 425 degrees and bake each pie in pizza pan (with holes on the bottom of pan) for about 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and top with salt if desired. Enjoy!
Serves approximately 4.
