Tomato Base

Cheeses

Method

Preparing the Tomato Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the hand crushed tomatoes. Stir in the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Cheese Preparation

  1. 2

    Grate the Cheeses

    While the tomato base is simmering, grate the asiago and provolone cheese. For the mozzarella, you can either grate it or tear it into pieces for a more rustic look.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Once the tomato base is ready, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce with the grated asiago and provolone cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Spread the tomato and cheese mixture onto your chosen baking dish or pizza base. Top generously with the mozzarella cheese.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and lightly golden.
