Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: pizza dough, olive oil, mozzarella and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Add the margherita and let it silky, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
