Classic Margherita Pizza
Classic Margherita pizza is one of the popular choices which is known for its simplicity and crisp yet soft crust. To prepare this pizza first prepare the dough with flour, water, yeast, and salt. Stretch the dough to make a base after it has sufficiently risen. Spread the base with a layer of tomato sauce, (prepared with crushed tomatoes and olive oil). After that, top with fresh basil leaves and mozzarella cheese slices, and bake at high heat for a few minutes, in your Usha's OTG until the crust is lightly brown and the cheese has melted.
