Description
At its heart, this recipe is a clever twist on the classic Italian Margherita. A traditional Margherita is known for its simplicity, featuring the colors of the Italian flag: red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil. By moving this concept to a sheet pan, we allow the dough to stretch out and develop a unique texture that is both chewy and crunchy.
