During lockdown, we're all having to go without food from some of our favourite high street eateries - and it's been a rough time.
Thankfully for Pizza Express fans, the high street Italian - famed for its dough balls, carbonara and could-be-in-Italy pizzas - is releasing the secret recipe for one of its bestsellers: the classic Margherita.
Yes, the restaurant has helpfully posted how to make the mozzarella pizza so you can enjoy the next best thing to a Pizza Express from your own home.
The recipe involves just 12 steps, roughly 40 minutes of prep and 10 mins of cooking time for one large pizza.
Ingredients-wise, you'll need yeast, flour, sugar, water and salt for the base and tomato passata, mozzarella, oregano, basil and black pepper for the topping.
The recipe is the latest in Pizza Express's #HomemadeFavourites series, where the chain has already shared recipes for its iconic Dough Balls, Dough Balls Parmigiana and Cheese & Bacon Dough Balls. Mmmm!
Here's the full how-to for the Margherita Pizza (or you can download it here):

Method:
Back in early October, it was reported that the much-loved high street eatery was in administration talks, reportedly facing a debt of over £1.6 million per restaurant.
However in November, it was reported its owner Hony Capital would be injecting £80 million into the flailing business to save it.
Make sure to keep your eye on Pizza Express's Homemade Favourite's page for the next recipe.
We're crossing all our fingers for a pasta!
