Homemade Margherita Pizza This classic Italian dish is surprisingly easy to make at home. Ingredients For the Dough: 125g strong bread flour 7g sachet instant active yeast 1 teaspoon salt 75ml warm water For the Topping: 4 shallots, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes 2 teaspoons dried oregano 400g can chopped tomatoes 1 tablespoon tomato purée 70g reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, cubed or sliced Fresh basil leaves, torn, for garnish Instructions Make the Sauce: Combine shallots, garlic, chili flakes, oregano, chopped tomatoes, and tomato purée in a saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Shape the Pizza: Roll out the dough into a thin circle, approximately 22cm in diameter. Transfer the dough to a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone (lined with parchment paper if using a baking sheet). Assemble and Bake: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Top with cubed or sliced mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot alongside a simple rocket salad. Tips: For best results, use high-quality flour and fresh ingredients. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet. Experiment with different toppings to create your own unique pizzas. Enjoy your homemade Margherita pizza!
