Ingredients diff
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup crushed San Marzano tomatoes
- 6 oz fresh mozzarella, torn
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
Steps diff
- Set a baking steel or stone on the top rack and preheat the oven at full heat for at least 45 minutes.
- Stretch the dough to a 10- to 12-inch round, leaving a thicker rim for oven spring.
- Spread on a thin layer of tomato, then scatter mozzarella so the center is not overloaded.
- Bake 6 to 9 minutes until the crust is blistered and the bottom is deeply crisp.
- Top with basil and a light drizzle of olive oil, then slice immediately.
Technique notes diff
- High-heat baking | Rapid oven spring and browning create crisp yet airy crust. | Margherita relies on crust quality more than heavy toppings.
- Temperature control before and during bake | Consistent dough and oven temperature regulates steam release, set rate, and browning kinetics. | This recipe depends on crisp structure and even doneness rather than uneven browning.
