Recipe type: Pizza

Total time:
Serves: 4-8+
- 28 oz can whole tomatoes
- ¼ - 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Pinch of dried oregano, to taste, crushed
- Pinch of grated romano, optional
- Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- Fresh basil
- Any other pizza toppings
- Mix all of the ingredients with a masher or hand-held blending device to mash up the tomatoes.
- I prefer leaving some chunks so that the sauce is not too runny.
- Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and let it chill overnight so that the flavors can marinate together.
- Bring it to room temperature for an hour or so before you will use it.
- (It can be used immediately if you do not have time to let it rest overnight but there won’t be as much depth to the flavor.)
- Take one of the pizza dough balls and begin pulling into a circle. You don't want to roll it out with a rolling pin because this will make it tough.
- Pull and press the dough into a circle on a lightly floured wooden pizza wheel.
- Spread pizza sauce over the crust, using less sauce in the center. Remember that with the sauce and all of the ingredients -- less is more!!
- Cover the sauce with slices of mozzarella cheese and any other toppings.
- Slide the pizza from the pizza wheel on to the pre-heated pizza stone (on the bricks in the bbq).
- Cook for 5-8 minutes until the top is charred and the pizza dough is done.
