This has to be the simplest pizza ever.If you want to add anything else, go for it, but don’t overload your pizza. It makes it harder to cook, harder to hold and less authentic. The best pizzas are all about a great base,topped with amazing flavour-packed ingredients and a fresh burst from herbs or pesto at the finish!
This pizza recipe originated in my Tenina's America cookbook, which is now available in both the print version and e-version. You'll never guess which is cheaper! Go get your copy(s) now!
