Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Pizza simplicity is deceptive. Perfect Margherita rests on three pillars: dough maturation, tomato acidity and cheese quality. Truffle oil is a modern twist raising this classic to a more elegant level with earthy scent. Remember: less is more!

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix flour with salt. In another vessel dissolve yeast and sugar in lukewarm water, let bloom for 5 mins. Add to flour with oil.

Tip: Don't mix salt directly with yeast as it can inhibit fungal function (osmotic stress).
2 ✓

Knead smooth, elastic dough (approx. 10 mins by hand). Form ball, cover, and let prove in warm place approx. 1 hour until doubled.

Tip: Kneading develops gluten network which will hold gas bubbles.
3 ✓

Preheat oven to maximum (250°C), leave tray in to heat up.

Tip: Hot surface shocks dough, making it rise suddenly (oven spring).
4 ✓

Turn dough onto floured surface, divide in two, and form into round sheet by hand pulling (or rolling pin).

Tip: Hand stretching is gentler, more air remains in rim.
5 ✓

Spread thinly with tomato sauce, tear mozzarella over.

Tip: Squeeze mozzarella with kitchen paper, otherwise pizza centre becomes 'soupy'.
6 ✓

Slide onto hot tray (with baking paper), and bake 10-12 minutes until edge blisters.

Tip: Dark spots on dough (leopard pattern) are trademarks of good pizza.
7 ✓

Remove, sprinkle with fresh basil and drizzle with truffle oil.

Tip: Oil aroma rises to your nose with hot steam.

Recipe FAQ

Why isn't the dough bottom crispy?
Your oven wasn't hot enough, or tray was cold. Try baking on lowest rack.
When should I put basil on?
After baking! If you put it in oven, it blackens and becomes bitter.
