Pizza Marghertia Revisited
Recipe
Ingredients
Makes
one (12-inch/30cm) pizza
-
1 quantity Pizza Dough (refer recipe)
-
2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
12 oz/300 g canned tomatoes
-
6 oz/180 g Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
-
2-3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (optional)
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
1 small bunch arugula/rocket
-
2 oz/60 g Parmesan cheese, in flakes
-
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Method:
-
Prepare the pizza
dough and set aside to rise.
-
Preheat the oven
to 425°F/220°C/gas 7. Oil a 12-inch (30-cm) pizza
pan.
-
When the rising
time has elapsed, knead the dough for 1 minute, then
use your fingertips to press it into the pan.
-
Sprinkle the base
with the grated Parmesan. Spread the tomatoes over
the top and cover with the Mozzarella and garlic, if
liked.
-
Season with salt
and pepper. Bake for
15-25
minutes, or until golden brown.
-
For plain
Magherita pizza, serve as it (the traditional recipe
does not have garlic). For a modern version of this
old classic, top the pizza straight from the oven
with the arugula and flakes of Parmesan.
-
Drizzle with the
oil and serve hot.
