Margherita Pizza Topping image

This is our favorite pizza topping--very simple, delicious and relatively healthy. I buy a ball of dough from a local grocer to save time and effort, but feel free to use any dough of your preference.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The dough was too sticky and the pizza was undercooked.
