Quantity of Ingredients: [“”,”2 lbs pizza dough, divided into two balls of dough (whatever dough you would like to use, white is best, we like Trader Joes)”,””,”2 tablespoons unsalted butter”,”1/4 cup grated onion, from 1 medium onion (see note)”,”1/4 teaspoon dried oregano”,” table salt”,”2 teaspoons garlic cloves”,”1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (see note)”,”1/4 teaspoon sugar”,”2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves”,”1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil”,” ground black pepper”,””,”1 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 4 cups, see note)”,”1/2 ounce grated parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup)”,””,” vegetables, meat (we recommend pepperoni)”]
Number of Servings: 6
Steps: [‘FOR THE SAUCE:’, ‘heat butter in medium saucepan over medium heat until melted.’, ‘Add onion, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes.’, ‘Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.’, ‘Stir in tomatoes and sugar, increase heat to high, and bring to simmer.’, ‘Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to 2 1/2 cups, 25 to 30 minutes.’, ‘Off heat, stir in basil and oil, then season with salt and pepper.’, ‘Adjust oven rack to lower position and heat oven to 425 degrees.’, ‘Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with 2 tablespoons olive oil each.’, ‘Transfer 1 dough ball to dry work surface and roll out into 13-inch disk about 1/4 inch thick.’, ‘Transfer dough to pan by rolling dough loosely around rolling pin and unrolling into pan. Lightly press dough into pan, working into corners and 1 inch up sides. If dough resists stretching, let it relax 5 minutes before trying again. Repeat with remaining dough ball.’, ‘For each pizza, sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella evenly over surface of dough.’, ‘Add optional toppings.’, ‘Spread 1 1/4 cups tomato sauce over cheese and sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan over sauce.’, ‘Bake until crust is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.’, ‘Remove pizza from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.’]
