Margherita Pizza
Ingredients
Directions
Place self-rising flour in a large bowl.
Add yogurt and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 8 minutes. (If the dough seems dry, add a few tablespoons of water. If the dough seems too sticky, add a few tablespoon of flour.
Refrigerate dough for four hours to make it easier to handle.
Place a pizza stone or a large rimless baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12- to 14-inch round or two smaller rounds to make them easier to handle.
Sprinkle a pizza peel with cornmeal and place dough on top.
Spread pizza sauce over the surface, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
Sprinkle with cheese and scatter basil on the top.
Bake until the crust is nicely browned and the cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the oven.
