Margherita pizza: the most known pizza worldwide
Monday is pizza time at home.
It’s quite a tradition, right now 😀
We start with the most known pizza worldwide: the margherita pizza.
It’s easy to prepare.
It requires only two ingredients or three, if you want to add basil (I didn’t use it because some guests doesn’t like it).
If you do it well and if you do it homemade… it will be delicious! 😉
