But what if you could improve upon this time-tested dish? Think of a pizza with a crisp crust that is just right, tangy tomato sauce produced with the finest ingredients, and a cheese combination that would make any cheese lover weak at the knees. We like to refer to this as the "Next Level Margherita Pizza." Prepare yourself for a wonderfully gratifying pizza experience that will take your taste buds on a memorable journey.

Ingredients

To make the dough

• 500g of "00" or "strong" white flour, plus an additional 100g for dusting each 
• sachet (7g) quickly acting dried yeast

To make the toppings

• 50g freshly grated parmesan (or a vegetarian substitute)
• 200g of chunked, block-style mozzarella

To make the sauce

• Cans of plum tomatoes, 400g (San Marzano are the best)
• Extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon plus enough to serve
• 12 teaspoon of dried oregano
• basil leaves have been selected, and the stalks are retained.

Steps

• In order to make the pizza dough, put the flour to a bowl first, followed by 300ml of warm water. The flour and water should be combined, then left to rest for an hour at room temperature. When the yeast activates during this period, the mixture will begin to bubble and ferment.

• After an hour, combine the dough with 15g of salt and the yeast that has been dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water. Do your best to evenly sprinkle the yeast throughout the dough. The dough needs to be given time to double in size, so cover the bowl with cling film and place it somewhere warm.

• The dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if you want a sourer flavour, and it should be kept there for at least 8 hours. The more time you wait, the sourer it will get.

• When the dough is prepared, split it into four equal pieces and spread them out on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour. For another hour of resting, roll up each component into a ball and cover them with a tea towel or cling film.

• The tomato sauce can be made while the dough is resting. Pour the remaining juice into a bowl after draining some of the can's juice. Add a liberal amount of salt, oregano, and olive oil to the bowl. Use a stick blender to make it smooth, or combine everything with your hands for a thick sauce. After bruising them with the back of a knife, tie the basil stalks together and add them to the sauce. Before using it, keep the sauce at room temperature.

• Prepare the pizza by turning the grill to the highest setting and grabbing a large frying pan. One of the dough balls should be stretched out onto a floured surface into a circle that is about the same size as the frying pan. Put the dough on a baking sheet that has been dusted with flour.

• Give the dough a border around the edges and spread a quarter of the tomato sauce over it. On top of the sauce, scatter substantial amounts of cheese and a few basil leaves. Next, top with a quarter of the mozzarella.

• Then, carefully place the pizza onto the heated frying pan. The pizza should be cooked for two minutes, then placed in the grill for an additional two minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Lift the pizza onto a board with a spatula, pour some extra virgin olive oil on top if you'd like, and then cut it into wedges. Pizza is served while you prepare the next one.
