Chef's Notes
Listen to me closely, my culinary apprentice: respect the ingredients. The simplicity of a Margherita leaves zero room for hiding mistakes. Use quality tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, or prepare to face my eternal disappointment.
Pro Tip
Want a leopard-spotted crust like the grand pizzerias of Naples? Do not skimp on preheating that pizza stone. Let it bake in the infernal heat of a 500-degree oven for a solid hour before the dough even thinks about touching it.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware the dreaded soggy center! If you dump a lake of watery pizza sauce or un-drained fresh mozzarella onto your dough, you will pull out a sad, soggy swamp instead of a crisp masterpiece, destroying your dignity in front of your dinner guests.

The Culinary Science
Yeast is a living organism that consumes sugars and burps out carbon dioxide gas. That delightful foam on your water mixture is literally microscopic creatures throwing a microscopic party and inflating your dough with gas bubbles.
