Margherita seems easy but man, it’s a vibe when done right.
Quick tips: use tipo 00 flour for the dough — stretchy and crispy when done. Let it proof overnight if you can. San Marzano tomatoes for sauce — smash, salt, maybe a drizzle of olive oil. No fancy stuff. Fresh mozzarella, drain the liquid or your crust’ll cry 😭 Bake hot and fast — wood oven is king, but broiler + pizza stone works in a pinch.
Throw basil on at the end, not before, unless you like sad green bits.
