People like different crusts for different reasons. For this recipe use your favorite Ingredients:
1 (1 lb) your favorite pizza dough |
1 (14 ounce) can peeled whole san marzano tomatoes, drained |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus |
1 tablespoon 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:
1. MAKE THE DOUGH: make your favorite or use store bought.
2. 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.
3. 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.
