How to make
Margherita Pizza
Preheat your oven to its maximum temperature, recommended between 270 and 300°C. The hotter, the better!
Take the 2 pre-prepared dough balls and stretch each one into an individual base by pressing with your fingers and pushing the dough out to the edges. Keep rotating, then very carefully stretch the dough over the backs of your hands into a pizza base shape of approximately 11 to 12 inches in size. If you find this authentic Italian method difficult, do feel free to use a rolling pin.
When your pizza base is ready, spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top, leaving a border of dough at the edges for the crust.
Add the mozzarella and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Transfer to a pizza stone or baking tray with parchment paper and cook for 6 to 7 minutes. Please be aware, cook time will vary depending on oven temperature, so check the pizza frequently to avoid burning. If you are using an Ooni or equivalent oven, cook for approx 60 seconds.
Your perfectly prepared pizza is ready to enjoy!
Season the yoghurt with black pepper, salt and cumin powder to taste, mix well, then leave to one side.
Remember to Recycle!
All the food packaging in your recipe box, as well as the box itself, is completely recyclable, so make sure you do your part to help save the planet!
To dispose of the ice packs, cut them open and pour the gel down the sink – it's totally nontoxic. In fact, you can even use it to give your houseplants a little boost.
