Pizza Margherita or Margherita pizza[1] is a typical Neapolitan pizza, roundish in shape with a raised edge (the cornicione) and garnished with hand-crushed peeled tomatoes, mozzarella (buffalo mozzarella or fior di latte), fresh basil leaves, and extra virgin olive oil.[2] The dough is made by mixing water, salt and yeast (sourdough, fresh or dry brewer's yeast) with flour (00 or 0).[2]
The dough is stretched by the pizzaiolo ('pizza maker') in a motion going outwards from the center, pressing with the fingers of both hands on the dough ball, and flipping it several times, shaping it into a disc.[2] It is then topped and baked in an oven, which is traditionally made of brick and wood-fired (electric or gas ovens are also used).[3] Pizza Margherita is usually served hot on a plate or folded into four and wrapped in paper (pizza a portafoglio or a libretto).[4][5]
