What Makes a Margherita Pizza Truly Authentic 

It’s all about simplicity! Authentic Margherita pizza uses fresh dough, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil. Just like they do in Naples, Italy.

Gather These Fresh  Ingredients First 

You’ll need: Pizza dough, Canned San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella (not shredded), Fresh Basil Leaves, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Salt. Quality matters most!

How to Prepare Classic Pizza Dough 

Take a large micing bowl. Now, mix Flour, Yeast, Water, and Salt. Knead well and let it rise for 8–24 hours. This gives that chewy, airy, Italian pizzeria crust.

Crafting the Perfect  Tomato Sauce 

In another mixing bowl, crush San Marzano tomatoes by hand. Add a pinch of salt and mix well. This keeps the sauce fresh and bursting with natural flavor.

Stretching the Dough  Like a Pro 

Now, use your hands to gently stretch the dough into a circle. Avoid rolling pins, as they push out all the lovely air bubbles!

Assembling the  Pizza with Care 

Spread the tomato sauce, tear fresh mozzarella over the flattened pizza dough, and add whole basil leaves. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top.

Bake It Right Oven Tips That Matter 

Always preheat your oven at its highest temperature (250–280°C or 480–550°F). Use a pizza stone or steel for that crispy bottom and soft center.

What It Should Look (and Smell) Like

Your Margherita pizza should have a blistered crust, melted cheese, and a heavenly smell of basil and tomatoes. It’s rustic and irresistible!

Serve It the Italian Way 

Slice it into four or six pieces. Italians eat it fresh, hot, and simple. Remember - No Ketchup, No Extra Toppings, just pure flavor.
