Ingredients
Sauce
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 cloves garlic, crushed
-
1/4 cup tomato paste
-
2 cups marinara sauce
-
1/4 cup water
-
1/4 cup white sugar, or to taste
-
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Pizza
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
24 ounces pizza dough
-
3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
-
12 slices provolone cheese
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
-
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste, and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds. Add marinara, water, sugar, oregano, and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust if need be. Turn off heat and reserve.
-
Roll and stretch dough into a rectangle about 15x10 inches. Rub a 13x18-inch half sheet pan with olive oil and transfer dough on. Push, pull, and stretch dough to cover pan. If dough pulls back from the edge, let it rest for a few minutes, and then continue shaping.
-
Top dough with a light layer of sauce (the recipe will make extra sauce). Top with mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is cooked through, and the bottom is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
As soon as pizza comes out of the oven, top with slices of provolone. Pizza can be served immediately, or placed back in the oven for a few minutes to melt provolone even more.
