MARINARA PIZZA

INGREDIENTS {SERVES 4}

1 recipe Pizza Dough, mixed and risen
Extra virgin olive oil as needed
Coarse kosher or sea salt
Fresh sliced tomatoes
Thinly sliced garlic
Chopped black olives or whole capers
(optional)

RECIPE
When the dough is ready, knead it lightly, form it into a ball, and divide it into two if you like; roll each piece into a round ball and place each ball on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with a little more flour, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rest while you heat the oven.

Preheat the oven to 500°F or higher. Roll or lightly press each dough ball into a flat round, lightly flouring the work surface and the dough as necessary (do not use more flour than you need to). 
Let the rounds sit for a few minutes; this will relax the dough and make it easier to roll out. If you have a peel and baking stone, roll or pat out the dough on the peel, as thinly as you like, turning occasionally and sprinkling it with flour as necessary. If you’re using baking sheets, oil them, then press each dough ball into a flat round directly on the oiled sheets.

Sprinkle the top with some salt. Top the pies with fresh sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and, if you like, a few chopped black olives or whole capers.

Slide the baking sheet into the oven on a rack set in the middle (or the pizza itself onto the stone, which should be set on a lower rack). Bake for 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the oven heat, until nicely browned. Serve immediately or at room temperature (these will keep for a few hours).
