Margherita Pizza

Cultural Context

Margherita Pizza is a classic Italian dish that originated in Naples. It is named after Queen Margherita of Savoy and is known for its simple yet flavorful combination of fresh ingredients. The colors of the pizza represent the Italian flag: red (tomato), white (mozzarella), and green (basil). This dish is a staple in Italian cuisine and is enjoyed worldwide, often served in pizzerias and homes alike.

Servings4
1 clove garlic
olive oil
kosher salt (optional)
2 thin slices of tomato
fresh mozzarella
fresh parmesan
fresh basil

fresh mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Part-skim mozzarella has fewer calories, while shredded mozzarella is often more affordable.

1

Squeeze 1 clove of garlic into olive oil and stir.

2

Spread the garlic olive oil mixture evenly on the flatbread, working it to the edges.

3

Sprinkle a tiny bit of kosher salt on top of the oil (optional).

4

Cut 2 thin slices of tomato and set aside.

5

Tear pieces of fresh mozzarella and dot them all over the flatbread.

6

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with a pizza stone inside.

7

Place the flatbread in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it to ensure the cheese melts and the crust gets crunchy but not burnt.

8

While the flatbread is cooking, shave off a little bit of fresh parmesan into larger chunks.

9

Prepare fresh basil by cutting it into thin strips if eating right away, or tearing it if not.

10

Once the pizza is done, sprinkle the fresh basil on top, followed by the shaved parmesan.

11

Drizzle a tiny bit of balsamic glaze on top for decoration.
