Yield Makes 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 28-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
2 anchovies
2 garlic cloves
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup basil leaves
Salt
Pepper
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated
Grandma-Style Pizza Dough

Steps:

  • Drain one 28-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes and pulse tomatoes with 2 anchovies, 2 garlic cloves, 6 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/4 cup basil leaves in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth (some texture is okay); season with salt and pepper.
  • Put It All Together:
  • A classic Grandma-just sauce and mozzarella-flips the usual script: Add cheese before sauce. Master this basic pie and you're ready to improvise (see below for ideas).
  • Classic Mozzarella Pie:
  • Place a rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 525° or as high as oven will go.
  • Once Grandma-Style Pizza Dough has risen on baking sheet, top with 12 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated, and dot pie with 1 1/2 cups Fresh Tomato Pizza Sauce. Bake pie until golden brown and crisp on bottom and sides, 20-30 minutes.
