INGREDIENTS

CONVERSION CALCULATOR

Mix the water, milk, and yeast together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the flour and 1 tsp salt until well combined and a dough is formed.
Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes.
Pour the 1/4 cup of oil into a 14-inch deep dish pizza pan or cake pan. Tilt the pan to coat the sides and bottom of the pan in the oil.
Roll out the dough to fit inside the pan all the way to the edges and lay the dough into the pan.
Brush the top of the dough with the 1 TBSP of oil then loosely cover the dough and let sit in a warm place to rise for 90 minutes
Add the peeled tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the tomato sauce into a container then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 475°F.
Take the sauce out of the refrigerator then uncover the pizza dough and spread the sauce evenly on the dough.
Sprinkle 6 ounces of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce then add your choice of toppings and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and outer crust is crisp and lightly browned, 17 to 20 minutes.
