Neapolitan-Style Margherita Pizza Recipe

Recipe By Real Simple

Do you remember that scene in the movie eat, pray, love, when julia roberts takes her first bite of pizza? She almost passes out from the bliss of tasting a slice. Its that level of delicious that were going for here, with this classic rendition of the famous naples pie. There are just a few toppings: crushed tomatoes, olive oil, fresh mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves, which means quality counts even more than normal. Cue italian music and la bella vita can be yours. And there's no need for a pizza stone or any other fancy pizza equipment to replicate a restaurant neopolitan-style pizza right in your own kitchen. The combo of the dough, the technique, and the high heat of the oven will yield incredible results, even delivering leoparding, the dark spots on the crust often seen in true neopolitan pizza. P. S. It might seem unusual to crank your oven up to 525 f, but the super-high temperature is attempting to replicate a woodfired oven.
