directions

  • 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.

<p>I am (mostly) employed by my husband and two daughters as a stay at home mom. &nbsp;The older I get, the more adventurous I like to get with my cooking. My mother-in-law, Chef hazeleyes, gave me a subscription to to this website back when it was recipezaar and I've been additcted ever since. Oh, and I like to run:)</p> <p>A few years ago, I completed a year of cooking&nbsp;my way through the Top 100 recipes of 2009. I made, reviewed and submitted a photo of every recipe on the top 100 of 2009&nbsp;in 2010. What can I say, I was inspired by Julie &amp; Julia but am not quite that ambitious. I am now going through&nbsp;a sort of cooking withdrawl and am excited to try some new recipes soon!</p>
