Mario Batali’s Pizza Margherita
one 9–10” pizza
Steps
- Heat broiler with rack in top position; place sheet of foil on rack below to catch any drips. Transfer crust to a baking sheet or pizza peel. Spread tomatoes over crust, leaving a 1/2” border, then top with cheese. Slide pizza onto rack and broil, checking often, until cheese is melted and bubbling and crust is charred and blistered in spots, 6–8 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, remove pizza from oven; drizzle with oil and top with basil leaves.
