Step-by-Step Instructions
We’ll guide you through the process in six simple steps to ensure your Margherita pizza comes out perfect every time. Whether you’re using a pizza stone, steel, or a baking sheet, the key is to ensure high heat and minimal toppings.
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
A good pizza starts with a properly preheated oven. You want your oven as hot as possible to mimic the high-heat environment of a professional pizza oven.
Place a pizza stone or heavy-duty baking sheet in the oven.
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Let it heat for at least 30 minutes to ensure the stone or sheet is thoroughly hot.
Pro Tip: If using a pizza stone, avoid placing cold dough directly onto a hot stone. Always prepare the pizza on a separate surface and slide it onto the stone.
