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'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pizza turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked it.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was too dry and the sauce was bland.
