• Margarita Pizza

      Following Luigi Di Domenico’s recipe in the Homemade Pizzas course, yesterday I cooked the Pizza Margarita, to which I added a little onion and basil oil on top.
      It tasted great, although the “cornicione”, as Luigi says (the edges), were too crispy for my taste. Maybe I should have removed the dough from the first baking at 5 minutes instead of 7′.

      Next time I will try to do better. 💪🏻

        hi Jorge! 🍕 Thanks for sharing this personal version of Margarita pizza, it looks spectacular! The photo conveys warmth and flavor: the colors are vivid, the basil oil adds brightness and freshness, and the addition of onion gives it a twist of its own without losing the essence of the classic. The crispier cornicione may be a detail to be polished, but it also speaks to your attention to the process and your desire to improve, and that’s worth gold. 💡 A thought: have you tried leaving the dough with a little more hydration or lowering the temperature slightly in that first baking? what do you value most in a good homemade pizza: the texture of the dough, the balance of flavor, or the cooking? 🍕🧠

        do you usually add herbs before serving? I’m a big fan of ground chili and oregano.

        • Jorge, you’re doing exactly what great cooks do — experimenting, tasting, and learning from each try. Every pizza you make is another step toward your perfect cornicione, and you’re already so close. The fact that you notice these small details means your skills are sharpening with every bake.

          Keep that creative spark alive — your next Margherita will be even more beautiful and delicious than the last.
