Margherita is a timeless favorite that never goes out of style. Try this recipe for a perfect cheesy pizza!

Pizza dough

3–6 fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
Do this:
- Preheat the oven to 250°C.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface, shape the dough thinly and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you buy ready-made dough that already has parchment paper, place the dough directly on a baking sheet.
