Margarita Pizza
The Margarita Pizza dough combines all-purpose flour, baking powder, and yogurt to create a soft yet crisp crust. Topped with a simple San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, garlic, oregano, fresh basil, and a touch of black pepper, it bakes quickly until bubbly and golden. The pizza features fresh herb aroma, creamy cheese texture, and bright tomato flavor balanced by a tender homemade base, offering a classic and satisfying homemade pizza experience.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 5 oz ) plus more for dusting, or white whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup San Marzano Tomatoes crushed by hand, canned
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 garlic minced, small clove
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt not regular, drained if there's any liquid, 0%, Stonyfield brand
- pinch oregano dried
- black pepper fresh, to taste
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced thin and torn by hand, fresh
- basil torn for topping, fresh
- extra virgin olive oil (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
- Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
- Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 20 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
- Preheat oven to 450F. I like to use a pizza stone, and preheat the stone in the oven as well. If using a round pizza pan or sheet pan, spray with oil.
- Sprinkle a work surface and rolling pin with a little flour and roll the dough out into a large thin round or oval (or you can make 2 smaller pies).
- Lay the dough out onto the oiled nonstick pizza dish or sheet pan.
- Spread the sauce over the crust. Top with cheese and place the pan on the pizza stone, bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, top with basil and drizzle with olive oil, if desired. Slice the pie into 8 slices.
