Ingredients:

Serving

1 (1 lb) your favorite pizza dough
1 (14 oz) can peeled whole san marzano tomatoes, drained
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil , plus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
coarse sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs buffalo mozzarella, thinly sliced
32 large basil leaves , torn into pieces

Directions:

MAKE THE DOUGH: make your favorite or use store bought.
PREPARE THE TOPPINGS: Meanwhile, set a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 500°, allowing at least 45 minutes for the stone to heat. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill set over a medium bowl or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Stir in the oregano and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Spread 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce over the dough to within 1 inch of the edge. Spread one-fourth of the cheese over the pizza and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with sea salt and pepper and slide the pizza onto the stone. Bake until the bottom is charred and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes. Scatter one-fourth of the basil on top and let stand for 3 minutes before serving. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
