A classic Margarita Pizza recipe featuring a simple tomato and basil sauce, fresh mozzarella, and a homemade crust cooked on a pizza stone or steel until puffed and lightly browned.
Preheat oven to 500°F with a baking steel or stone. In a bowl, add your whole tomatoes. Crush with your hands, add your basil and salt. Mix together, then set aside. After your pizza dough has doubled in size, divide in half and roll into balls. Place into a greased bowl, cover and let rest for 25 more minutes. Take one of your dough balls and using your fist, punch out the crust. Then stretch your dough until roughly a foot in circumference. Place on a lightly floured pizza peel. Add a couple spoonfuls of your sauce, some mozzarella slices and a few whole basil leaves. Using your pizza peel, slide your pizza onto your pre-heated pizza stone. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dough is puffed and lightly browned. Slice and enjoy!!!
