Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 packets active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (approximately 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Additional olive oil for greasing the pan
  • Grated Locatelli cheese for sprinkling

For the Sauce:

  • 6 Roma tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 15 ounces tomato puree
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. For the Crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine yeast and warm water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

    2. 2. Add sugar, salt, and olive oil. Turn the mixer to low speed and gradually add the flour. Once the dough begins to form, increase the speed to medium. Periodically stop to scrape the dough off the hook. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).

  2. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a well-oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Grease a large baking pan with olive oil. Place the dough on the pan and, using your fingertips, stretch it into a large rectangle.
  4. Use a fork or small knife to prick the surface of the dough to release any air bubbles. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and reduce the temperature to 425°F. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, add the prepared tomato sauce, and bake for another 10 minutes.
  6. Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Top with grated Locatelli cheese and serve warm or cold.
