Pizza Margherita

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Score the top of the tomato with a small knife in a cross shape, just cutting through the skin, and immerse it in boiling water for 20 seconds. Immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water and let it cool for 1 minute. Then peel it and slice it into 0.5 cm thick rounds.
• 2
  Slice the mozzarella. Blend or strain the canned tomatoes and mix with salt and olive oil.
• 3
  Spread the prepared, stretched dough for 1 pizza with the tomato mixture, evenly arrange the tomato slices, and bake on a fully preheated baking sheet or pizza stone in an oven preheated to maximum for 3 minutes.
• 4
  Remove the pizza from the oven, arrange the sliced mozzarella on top, return to the oven, and bake for another 1 minute until the mozzarella just softens but doesn't melt completely.
• 5
  Remove the finished pizza from the oven and arrange basil leaves on top.
