Sauce:
Crush tomatoes with your hands in a large bowl. Heat oil and garlic/onions in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper, basil and pepper flakes and reduce heat to medium-low.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 40 to 50 min.
Pass sauce through a food mill into a bowl; discard solids.
Alternatively, process sauce in a food processor until smooth. (I use a food processor personally, a blender works also.)
If not using immediately, refrigerate sauce in an airtight container up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.
Dough:
dissolve yeast in water
add salt and olive oil
mix in flour one cup at a time - i keep adding flour until the dough seems kneadable
knead
let rise 30 min. to an hour
To assemble:
roll dough to medium thickness
cut out pizzas using a drinking glass
dent pizzas in the middle with your fingertips and spoon in sauce
bake for no more than 10 minutes
add more sauce and toppings of your choice and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
You can use whatever toppings you like, I recommend topping each with fresh basil for aesthetics.
