Pizza Margherita, my way: ⬇️
🍅 STEP 1 - Lay down your tomato sauce, San Marzano if you can but any tinned toms are totally fine. You might wanna throw in a whack of sea salt to season the cheaper stuff. Next up it’s a good handful of cubed mozzarella or fior di latte (I let my mozz rest on kitchen roll for an hour to remove some of the moisture). A drizzle of Extra Virgin olive oil, and it’s go time.
🔥 STEP 2 - FIRE IT UP. A dedicated pizza oven is an unbelievable piece of kit, but not absolutely essential. This is fired in my outdoor oven at 470C / 880C for 60 seconds, to achieve those unmistakable leopard spots, beautifully tender crumb and eggshell outer crust. That said, there are loads of great creators out there who achieve exceptional results from a home oven - check out for some great home oven tips and tricks 👌
STEP 3 - The finishing touches. Food snobbery can do one, this is your pizza your rules so just go with whatever makes you feel good. I’ve gone with torn buffalo mozzarella, a grating of aged Parmesan, fresh basil leaves, chilli flakes, herb salt, a very generous crack of black pepper akd a drizzle more Extra Virgin.
🤗 STEP 4 - Take a step back to admire your handiwork, then devour that badboi like no one’s watching.
And there you go. Make pizza, feel good. What’s not to love about that?
