Pizza alla Marinara

Marinara Pizza

A good pizza for those of us who love garlic.

Ingredients:

Basic pizza dough

The following ingredients are for one pizza, or half the dough
recipe:
2 cups chopped canned tomatoes + 2 Tbsp. tomato juice
5 Tbsp. chopped garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. dry oregano
salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°.
2. Grease a baking sheet approximately 15 " X 11" with olive oil. I use a regular rectangular baking sheet, but if you want to use a round pan the equivalent should be about a 14" pizza pan. Then flatten the half the dough using your fingers or a rolling pin. It'll be thin as an Italian pizza should be.
3. Combine the tomatoes with 3 Tbsp. oil 1/2 tsp. salt and spread the mixture over the pizza crust.
4. Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes until almost cooked.
5. Sprinkle the pizza with the garlic and the oregano. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to maintain the garlic soft.
6. Cook the pizza for other 5 minutes but be careful not to burn the garlic, otherwise it will taste bitter.
