Pizza Margherita

The Neapolitan association’s 2022 preparation uses a dough of flour, water, salt and yeast. The risen dough is opened by hand into a disc, pushing air towards its edge to form the raised cornicione. The centre carries crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and extra-virgin olive oil.^[1]

The association describes both buffalo and cow’s-milk mozzarella, with grated hard cheese as an optional addition. The topped pizza is baked directly on the oven floor. Its finished form has a soft, foldable centre and a raised rim.^[1]
