Pizza Margherita

Pizza Margherita is a world-renowned authentic Italian flatbread consisting of a baked, flat disc of low-profile bread distinguished by its airier chewy crust. The traditional recipe features a vibrant layer of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and extra-virgin olive oil, representing the colors of the Italian flag. The foundation of this iconic dish is a medium-hydration pizza dough, typically ranging between 60% and 75% water relative to the flour, which ensures the perfect balance of structural integrity and a soft, porous interior. - AsNotedIn
