  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • pinch of kosher salt
Topping:
  • 7 tomatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • salt
  • olive oil
  • fresh basil
  • Bocconcini (small mozzarella balls) cut in half
Instructions

Dough:
  • Mix olive oil, water, and yeast for 5 minutes (stirring the whole time)
  • Mix in flour, knead for 15 minutes on a floured surface
  • Let rest 20 minutes in a bowl covered by a warm, damp cloth
  • Sprinkle with salt and knead another 10 minutes
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit for at least 4 hours in a warmish room
  • Spread out on floured surface into pizza shape
  • Preheat oven and pizza pan to 500 degrees (or 550 if your oven can handle it)
  • Cover with toppings and brush crust with olive oil.  Bake for about 15 minutes.
Sauce:
  • Chop the tomatoes roughly and chop the garlic pretty finely
  • Saute garlic in olive oil for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Add tomatoes and cook for at least 30 minutes.  Add salt and oregano to taste.  Add a little olive oil at the end.  The sauce should thicken up a little bit.
  • Put sauce on pizza, dot pizza with cheese.  After cooking the pizza, top with sliced up basil.  Add a sprinkle of salt on top of the pizza and let it cool for 5 minutes.
