Authentic Italian Margherita Pizza - Candies UI
Bring the taste of Naples to your kitchen! At Candies UI, we believe that the perfect Margherita Pizza is defined by its simplicity: a crispy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and fresh mozzarella.
1 The Secret to the Dough
Fresh ingredients make all the difference—Candies UI tip.
Pizza Pantry:
- 500g Type 00 Flour
- 325ml Warm Water
- 7g Dry Yeast
- Fresh Mozzarella balls
- San Marzano Tomatoes
- Fresh Basil leaves
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
At Candies UI, we recommend letting your dough rest for at least 24 hours in the fridge. This cold fermentation process creates those beautiful air bubbles and a complex flavor in the crust.
2 The Crispy Masterpiece
Perfectly blistered crust and melted mozzarella—a Candies UI signature.
Quick Steps:
- Dough: Mix flour, water, and yeast. Knead until smooth and let it rise.
- Sauce: Crush the tomatoes by hand and add a pinch of salt. Don't cook the sauce beforehand!
- Assemble: Stretch the dough thinly. Spread the sauce, add mozzarella, and a drizzle of oil.
- Bake: Use a pizza stone if possible. Bake at the highest oven temperature (250°C+) until golden.
