Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- garlic
- olive oil
Sizzle garlic in olive oil over medium heat about 30 seconds without browning.
Garlic and tomato paste
- plain tomato sauce
- cold, fresh water
- dried oregano
- chili flakes
Add the tomato sauce, rinse the jar with a little cold water and add it, then season with dried oregano and optional chili flakes.
- sugar
- salt
- 24 oz prepared dough
Stir in a large amount of sugar, bring back to a simmer and cook, stirring, 10 to 15 minutes; adjust salt to taste.
- flour
With just enough flour to stop sticking, roll the dough with a rolling pin to about half an inch thick, then stretch by hand into a rectangle about 15 by 10 inches.
Rolling and stretching the dough
- olive oil
Transfer onto a generously olive-oiled sheet pan and press and stretch to the edges; if it springs back, rest a couple of minutes and try again.
Spread the sauce evenly (there will be extra), to the edges or leaving a little crust showing.
Sauce and a stingy layer of mozzarella
Bake in the centre of a 475 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is cooked and the cheese browned.
- 12 slices provolone
- chopped Italian parsley
While piping hot, top with 12 slices of provolone to melt; return to the oven if wanted. Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley and cut.
