Pizza Margherita {for Andr\u00e9s Ignacio}\"Pizza<\/a>My son Andr\u00e9s Ignacio is turning 10 next week. I could write a book about the joy he brought (and brings) to my life and a complete encyclopedia about how challenging it is to be his mom. But since this is a cooking blog, I\u2019m only going to say he\u2019s better than all I dreamed when I was pregnant.\"pizza<\/a>For his birthday he asked for a pizza party and to have six of his best friends for a sleep over. A pizza party for him means a lot of pizza Margherita, or to be precise: double cheese pizza Margherita.\"tomato<\/a>This pizza is named after Margherita of Savoia (1856-1926), Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Italy. It was first made in 1889 when the Queen visited Naples and saw peasants having a simple but appealing flat bread.\"Pizza<\/a>To satisfy Margherita craving for such common bread, chef Raffaelle Esposito combined tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil to recreate the Italian flag on a dish. Since there is no better combination than this, the Queen loved the pizza and as a result wrote a thank you note to Esposito, who named his creation after the wife of King Umberto I.\"Pizza<\/a> Pizza Margherita proves, once again, the simpler, the better, and when it\u2019s about pizza, less is more. This is a staple in my kitchen, especially on Fridays, when by decree of the kings of my heart, Andr\u00e9s Ignacio and Tom\u00e1s Eugenio, it\u2019s always pizza Friday.\"Pizza<\/a>The idea with this thin crust pizza is not to overload it. Since today\u2019s pizza is for my boys, I used a good amount of shredded mozzarella.\u00a0When it\u2019s for me, there is nothing like fresh buffalo mozzarella.\"Pizza<\/a>This time I baked it on a preheated pizza stone for 9-10 minutes. If you bake it on a baking sheet, pizza should be in the oven for 12 minutes. I hope you like my recipe.\"Pizza<\/a><\/div>\n
