Pizza sauce:

1 can tomatoes

1/4 cup tomato paste

2 tsp sugar

Fresh or dried basil

Fresh or dried oregano

2-4 cloves garlic, mashed

Sea salt & pepper

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender; buzz until smooth. Makes 3 cups.

Pizza dough: To save time, I buy frozen pizza dough from the grocery store, or I use biscuits or croissants, or some other ready made bread. If you like, you can make your own dough. See recipe here.

Toppings:

Large block mozzarella cheese, shredded

Fresh chopped vegetables of choice (onion, green or red pepper, black olives, mushrooms, artichokes, broccoli, etc)

Cooked, chopped meats of choice (ham, pepperoni, ground beef, chicken, etc)

Assemble pizza:

For a fun variation with kids, give them each their own ball of dough and let them make their own individual pizzas.  Just put them all together on the pizza stone to bake.

1. Roll out dough on pizza stone
2. Spread sauce across dough
3. Sprinkle on vegetables & meats & cheese
4. Bake in 400 degree oven for approximately
