## Classic Margherita Pizza

A simple, iconic Neapolitan pizza using just three toppings representing the colors of the Italian flag.

### Ingredients

- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup San Marzano crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella, torn
- Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste

### Instructions

- Preheat oven to 500°F (or as high as it goes) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside
- Stretch dough into a thin round on a floured surface
- Spread crushed tomatoes lightly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border
- Scatter fresh mozzarella pieces evenly over the sauce
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt
- Slide onto the hot stone and bake 8-10 minutes until crust is charred at edges and cheese is bubbly
- Remove from oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves

### Pro-Tips

- Use a hot pizza stone for the best crust — it mimics a brick oven
- Less is more: don't overload the sauce or the crust will get soggy
- Fresh mozzarella has more moisture than low-moisture; pat it dry before using
