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.
Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.
fresh mozzarella cheese
🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella
💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella
Part-skim mozzarella has fewer calories, while shredded mozzarella is often more affordable.
Add active dry yeast to warm water and let it get bubbly for about 10 minutes.
Set up a stand mixer and add flour and salt.
Start the stand mixer on slow and stir the yeast and water mixture, then slowly add it to the flour and salt.
Set a timer for about 10 minutes to mix until you have a nice smooth texture in the dough with no clumps.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for an hour to allow gases to build for a bubbly crust.
After an hour, mix the dough for one more minute to bring it back together and make it easier to work with.
Gently pull the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form it into a smooth ball.
Portion the dough into four equal-sized balls, folding the dough into itself to create a smooth top.
Move the dough balls to a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap, letting them rest for an hour at room temperature.
After resting, put the dough balls in the fridge overnight.
When stretching the dough, ensure the top side stays the top side to keep the crust smooth and avoid pancake-like texture.
Lightly press the center of the dough to form a three-quarter inch rim around the outside.
Pick up the dough and pass it from hand to hand to let it stretch itself without pulling.
Sauce the pizza without creating a perfect circle, allowing it to touch the crust in a few places.
Add 9 to 12 pieces of mozzarella to the pizza, avoiding more to prevent it from being too wet.
Preheat the oven to a high temperature for a crispy outer crust with chew on the inside.
Look for nice even browning around the top while baking.
Finish the pizza with a drizzle of olive oil after cutting.
