Nonnas Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the tomato puree, basil, kosher salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 1 hour to let the flavors marry. Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for an hour as well.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Stretch the dough in the oil, flipping it back and forth and stretching it to fit the baking sheet. Use your fingers to make a few dimples in the dough. Spread the sauce evenly over the top all the way to the edges. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the ricotta salata, oregano and flake salt. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Soak yeast in 3/4 c. lukewarm water with sugar until foamy - about 5 min. Sift flour and salt to together. Add oil, water and yeast mixture to the flour and salt. Mix together to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth about 10 min. Note: if you use the food processor let it bring the dough together into a ball and knead for 5 min. Put in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled. Punch down and shape. Add topping and let rise again. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 min.
