Ingredient

• 1 (28-ounce) can whole San Marzano tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• Cornmeal, for stretching the dough
• 1 pound Pizza Dough, store-bought or homemade

Direction

1. Preheat the oven to 500°F.
2. In a food processor, place the tomatoes and their juices, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Process until smooth.
3. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Place the pizza dough on the baking sheet and stretch it into a large oval.
4. Spread a heaping ½ cup of the tomato sauce* evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

6. Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil and pinches of red pepper flakes. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
