Ingredients

Pizza Sauce:

30 ounces tomato sauce
24 ounces tomato paste
½ teaspoon basil finely chopped
1 tablespoon oregano finely chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seed crushed
1 tablespoon onion chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt

For Pizza:

1 refrigerated Bistro Style Pizza Dough
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
15 pieces pepperoni
2 tablespoons basil finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic minced
½ cup cheddar or any cheese, shredded
Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

For Pizza Sauce:

In a large pan on the stove, combine the tomato sauce and the tomato paste over medium high heat. Toss in all the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine well. Bring the tomato sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiled, reduce heat, cover the sauce and allow to simmer on low for 1 hour, stirring often. Makes about 4 cups.

For Pizza:

Open Wewalka refrigerated dough and carefully unroll the pizza. Do not remove dough from parchment paper. Keep the pizza on the parchment paper for a more even bake. Spread pizza sauce on dough, almost to edges. I sprinkled a fine layer of cheese on top of that, but it's not necessary. Sprinkle with chopped basil and garlic. Top with pepperoni and the rest of cheese.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes (or as directed on package)
