METHOD

Step 1: To prepare a smooth dough we need a mixing bowl in which we put water and flour.

Step 2: Then knead it well to make a smooth dough. Once it is ready, cover this dough and keep it at room temperature for 18 hours. This soft dough will be ready.

Step 3: After completing the dough process, now we have to make the sauce. For a smooth texture, blend San Marzano tomatoes well. Blend and then incorporate it into olive oil. Mix it well after adding salt. Lastly, use basil leaves for garnishing the sauce.

Step 4: After softening the dough we spread it on a flat surface. Keep in mind that its edges should be thick. The flour should not be thick or thin at any place, rather it should be equally flat everywhere.

Step 5: Now let us all make a layer of sauce on the flour. Now spread the chopped mozzarella cheese on it. After this, at last add fresh Tulsi leaves to it so that it gets a fresh taste.

Step 6: After the layering process, now it is time to bake it. For this we will use a preheated oven. In this preheated oven we will bake the pizza for 90 seconds. The sign of perfect baking is that it will turn golden and the cheese will melt. With the help of Pizza Stone it will be baked evenly and the crust will be nice too.

Step 7: When the pizza is ready, take it out from the oven, drizzle it with olive oil and garnish it with Tulsi leaves. Now It’s time to serve pizza.

Enjoy this rich Margherita pizza with real Italian taste with friends and family.
