This homemade margherita pizza is so easy and delicious! My biggest tip for this recipe is to use good-quality ingredients like fresh basil and sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes. Because the recipe is so simple, you'll really taste the difference.
View original recipe on loveandlemons.comPreheat the oven to 500°F.
In a food processor, place the tomatoes and their juices, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Process until smooth.
Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Place the pizza dough on the baking sheet and stretch it into a large oval.
Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce* evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Top with the mozzarella and transfer to the hot oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is browned.
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil and pinches of red pepper flakes. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
