Pizza Margherita

Preheat the oven to 500º F.

Stretch the dough out into a 12-inch circle onto a pizza pan.

TIP: sprinkle some cornmeal under the pizza to ensure that they don’t stick and the crust is crispy.

Spread Rao’s Homemade® Pizza Sauce over the dough.

Sprinkle with the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Top with the mozzarella slices, and space 5 basil leaves evenly around the surface.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.

Slice and serve.
