Pizza collection

Jane and I have collaborated on a lot of projects and fundraisers through the years. So it seems apropos to use both our recipes on the topic of pizza making.

Linda's Pizza Sauce

28 ounces Progresso Tomato Puree
6 ounces tomato paste
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon dry basil
1 tablespoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar

Combine with whisk. Makes 3 - 4 pizzas


Toppings:
Our favorite toppings include caramelized onions, sliced tomatoes, pepperoni, spinach and freshly grated mozzarella cheese (packaged grated cheese is fine, of course, but just doesn't seem the same to us).
Putting It All Together

Roll out the dough and place on cookie sheets or pizza pans sprinkled with cornmeal. There is enough dough for two large thin crust pizzas. Pinch a lip along the edges.

Top with sauce, cheese and your choice of pizza toppings, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with basil. Bake in 450F oven for 12 minutes.

1 1/2 cups feta cheese (domestic is fine)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
