I'm constantly inspired to create delicious dishes! The more I cook at home, the more excited I am to experiment with new ideas. So let's put on your favorite tunes and create a dinner. The right meal planned, the right tools, good wholesome ingredients, and some background music make a perfect mixture and a perfect experience. It's time to make better food for ourselves. Let's make some memories and add an Inspired Recipe to Remember - The Perfect Pizza, to your routine.

Today's menu features Pizza. Yes, simply Pizza. It's quite easy, and you can personalize it every time to suit your taste. We enjoy a variety of toppings, but this time, we'll focus on making a classic Margherita pizza.

Let's begin by collecting your ingredients.

The Dough....

The foundation to a great pizza. We love fresh dough and actually have found a fabulous pre-made option sold at our local grocery. This is typically found in the bakery section and of course helps the overall dinner to be easier and saves time. There are other dough or crust options to select from and you can certainly always make your own from scratch. This is definitely on my list to try. Stay tuned.

With our fresh dough recommendation, you'll want to add a bit of flour so it's less sticky and roll the dough until it's the thickness and size you're looking for.

I often make a homemade sauce for pizza or spaghetti nights at our house. Please see my blog for an amazing homemade sauce recipe. Inspired Recipes to Remember - The Perfect Spaghetti Sauce And if you are wanting to keep it simple, there are plenty of options to choose from that are pre-made.

Now, let's talk about the toppings. Whether you're going for a Margarita-style pizza or something else, it's all about the right mozzarella. The ideal mozzarella can usually be found in the fresh deli section at your grocery store. In my opinion, the flavor is absolutely worth it. For a Margarita-style pizza, the toppings are quite straightforward after that. Use sliced tomatoes; I find that smaller tomatoes fit better. Then, add fresh chopped basil. I simply can't get enough basil on my pizza. So feel free to add lots.

If you are wanting to get creative there are a couple of options for cooking. We have used a wood fire grill and this is certainly my favorite! Or you can simply heat it on a stone in the oven. Heat at about 450 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes.
