      If using instant yeast use less. I made this with 7g if instant yeast and it tripled in size instead of doubling, ended up being an American style deep pan pizza.

If tomatoes are sweet just add a little salt, if tomatoes are sour add a 1/2 tea spoon of sugar. In medium heat bring the tomatoes to boil, lower the heat to minimum and cook without the lid for at least 40 min. The consistency of ready sauce should be thick and not watery。add a little olive oil for richness Ans that’s your marinara

    i just made this pizza! i would recommend adding a little bit of sugar to enhance the flavor of the dough, and also adding a bit more water bc the flour was too much for my dough and made it dry at first. other than that, it was fantastic and to proof my dough for 2 hours, I put it in my oven at the top rack (oven was off) with a damp towel over it and put boiling water in a pan at the bottom rack of my oven, so the steam reached the top rack and allowed the dough to rise really really well. i cooked mine at 320 C tho bc i didnt want it to burn for 10 mins

    I love his passion so much that I had to buy an Italian made pizza from the store just the other day, and the taste is out of this world!❤️ The flour dough taste alone…is totally different from what I’ve been used to here in America. The pizza had just a little sauce like the one this guy made here, and very little cheese. I so enjoyed the pizza that I’m planning to stock up on that pizza in my upright freezer…I’m not kidding you. As a nurse, I had stayed away from eating pizza and Chinese food because of the too much cheese on American pizzas and too much oil used in Chinese foods and the causes of heart diseases in America. So, when I found the Italian pizza made from Italy, I was definitely going to try it out. Even the most expensive pizza here in Chi town doesn’t even compare.

    I just made this pizza again, and it was better than the first time I made it, simply delicious. The first time I made it, it was the best I’d ever eaten but this time it was even better - because I knew how much of each item to add to my preference. Since there are only a few ingredients, you have to use the best. The second one I used dried basil and it was wonderful. The first time, I felt the fresh basil was a little too powerful. I recommend for you to make this. Simply amazing. 💖
