Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 28-ounce can Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to get hot.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, aiming for about 12 inches in diameter for a thinner crust.
Transfer the stretched dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the pan with the garlic and add the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Stir and let simmer for 10 minutes to merge the flavors.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Spread the cooled marinara sauce evenly over the stretched pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Distribute the capers, sliced cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion on top of the marinara sauce.
Sprinkle ground black pepper and arrange fresh basil leaves over the toppings.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the entire pizza.
Using a pizza peel or the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your dairy-free pizza marinara!
