Pizza Base and Sauce
Method
Pizza Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Shape the Pizza
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two portions (one for a large pizza and one for a small). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread MJ Red Sauce evenly over the surface. Sprinkle whole milk mozzarella cheese generously on top.

Bake the Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone in the oven (or place the baking sheet in the oven). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot.
