Instructions for Classic Pizza Margherita Recipe - Pizza Topped With Cheese And Tomato Sauce

    1

    To begin making the classic Pizza Margherita, mix flour, semolina, salt, sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl and make a deep well in the centre.

    2

    Add water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the flour mixture. Mix everything well to make a soft but not sticky dough. Add more water if the dough is still dry.

    3

    Apply the remaining oil onto your palms and knead fit or 10 minutes by hand on a lightly floured work surface.

    4

    Cover the pizza dough loosely with oiled clingfilm, making sure it is airtight. Leave in a warm place for about 2 hours until doubled.

    5

    Once the pizza dough has doubled in size, pull them out of the mixing bowl and punch the dough a couple of times and divide them into 4 small dough portions.

    6

    Preheat the oven to 220 C and place the pizza stone into the cold oven. Let them gradually heat and achieve the temperature, approximately 10 minutes.

    7

    While the preheating happens, the next step is to make pizzas. Sprinkle some semolina onto the working surface.

    8

    On the semolina surface, roll out the dough thin, into a large circle approximately 8 inches or the shape of your choice using a rolling pin. The dough would rise in the oven, so roll it as thin as possible.

    9

    Run the fork all around the middle leave 1/2 inch around the edges. This process will remove any bubbles/air out.

    10

    Pull out the hot pizza stone and carefully place them on a hot plate. Sprinkle some semolina on the stone and then place the rolled pizza dough on it.

    11

    Gently brush a layer of olive oil and to the base with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.

    12

    Bake them for 10-15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown or the cheese has melted. Allow it to cool down for 2-3 minutes.

    13

    Garnish with basil leaves, oregano and chilli flakes. Serve these cheesey homemade pizza hot.
